TRI
Pointe Homes Northern California is doing its part to make a difference at Alameda
County Community Food Bank. The Food Bank serves 1 in 5 Alameda County
residents by distributing food through a network of 240 food pantries, soup
kitchens, day care centers and other organizations.
“Make
a Difference Day is all about getting involved in your local community,” said
Susan Cleary, Marketing Manager, TRI Pointe Homes. “Alameda County Community Food Bank does an
incredible job of supporting our community and our staff enjoyed the
opportunity to come together and be a part of its outreach.”
Make A Difference Day was established in 1992 to
inspire people no matter their age or background to seek out imaginative ways
to engage and support their communities. Since its inception, thousands of projects
take place every October, some large, many small, but each effort makes an
important difference to the local communities.
“We serve 116,000 children, adults and seniors
every month – an effort that’s only made possible through the passion and hard
work of our volunteers,” said Michael Altfest, Associate Director of
Communications and Marketing for Alameda County Community Food Bank. “We’re
extremely grateful to the large group of TRI Pointe Homes employees who
dedicated time to making a difference. Their efforts helped us package and
prepare the equivalent of nearly 14,200 meals
for our community in a single volunteer shift!
Partners like TRI Pointe Homes are critical in our pursuit of a hunger-free
community.”
Since 1985,
Alameda County Community Food Bank has been at the forefront of hunger relief
efforts in the Bay Area. This year it was named Food Bank of the Year by
Feeding America, the nation’s network for food banks. For more information about Alameda County
