Thanksgiving Food Drive

By splitting its staff into teams, the Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo, L.L.P. have collected more than 16,000 pounds of food during its annual participation in the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina food drive.

Each year, our staff competes against each other to see who can donate the most food. Since starting the program in 2004, our firm has gathered a total of 16,074 pounds of food. Additionally, at the beginning of each competition, Mr. DeMayo agrees to match his employees’ total food contribution and has donated an additional $22,000 to the food bank.

With the firm’s monetary and food donations, the food bank has been able to provide more than 200,000 individual meals. The firm collects canned fruits and vegetables, as well as high protein foods including tuna, chicken and canned beef stew.

“Being a part of this annual food drive is one of our favorite community service projects. It’s our way to help alleviate the hunger that many people in our community experience on a daily basis, especially during the holidays,” Mr. DeMayo said.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina serves 19 counties in North and South Carolina. Last year, the food bank distributed more than 33 million pounds of food and essential grocery items to 650 non-profit agencies and churches serving the needy as well as to food banks in other areas.
