Importance: High

 

To all associates:

 

According to the USDA, almost 1/3 of the edible food we produce in this
country is wasted.

 

Now considering that nationally

*	Over 49 million people in the United States live in hunger and food
insecure households.  More than 16 million are children.
*	One in eight Americans do not have enough to eat and requires
emergency food assistance.
*	Women in food insecure households frequently are at the greatest
risk, depriving themselves of nutritionally adequate foods to make them
available for their children and husbands

In our own communities 

*	1 out of 5 New Jersey families do not earn enough to afford the
basic necessities such as food and housing.  85% of these households have at
least one member who is employed.
*	1.6 million New Jerseyans are classified as working poor.
*	Nearly 750,000 people in New Jersey live at or below the poverty
level.
*	575,000 children (27%) in New Jersey live in low-income households.

What does this mean to  us? It's  an opportunity for us to help and make a
difference in our community.

 

MaxLite has teamed up with  Table -To- Table  which is a non-profit
organization dedicated to feeding the  hungry.  

 

How can you help?  Please take a moment and review the attached overview,
and  on Friday October 8th , join us for a Company sponsored barbecue lunch
in our picnic area out back.

All we are asking you do is take the money you would normally spend on your
lunch (or more), and place it in the bag as a contribution to this worthy
cause. 

Since this is a company sponsored event, 100% of the proceeds collected at
this lunch will be sent to the ' Bag A Lunch Help A Bunch' campaign for
their October 20th fund raiser.

 

So please join us in making a difference, and helping those less fortunate
than us.

 

MaxLite Inc.

 

 

P.S. Extra bags will be available  for donation from friends and family.
