You get such a good feeling from giving; providing aid to those in your community; helping those who may be down on their luck. So once again the Soft Tech Consulting employees came together this fall and made our largest donation yet. This latest donation was made to The Bowie Interfaith Pantry and Emergency Aid Fund located at 2614 Kenhill Drive, Suite 134, Bowie, MD 20715. The Bowie Interfaith Pantry and Emergency Aid Fund provides assistance to so many families in the Prince Georges area, providing them with sustenance that they otherwise may not have available. We made the delivery just before the Thanksgiving Holiday so our donation would be available for families, in time for the holiday, and hopefully making it a better memory for them. Thank you, to my Soft Tech family. Let’s keep up the energy and make our next food drive even better. By contributing to the food drive, we aren’t only helping families in need, we are also giving families hope for better times. The picture below represents our entire contribution.
Next we go to Washington, DC with our donation. Our next food drive will benefit the Crowder Owens Food Bank at 600 W Street NE, Washington, DC 20002. They’re website is under construction, but I obtained a list of items from them that they’re clients could use.
