ProfitFuel and Outrank.com Employees Give Back with CANstruction December 27, 2010
The holidays can be a challenging time for families, and in today’s economy, the needs have never been so great. So, in true ProfitFuel spirit, the employees at ProfitFuel and Outrank.com made it clear that we wanted to help out! Throughout the month of November, employees donated various canned food items to the Capital Area Food Bank.
We added our unique culture to the food drive by using the cans to create a structure to display in the lobby of the office. Employees submitted different structures ranging from the “State of Texas” to an “armadillo.” The votes were cast and tallied…. the decision was made to create a computer, and the fun began.
To help create the orange structure, employees brought Bush beans or donated cash to purchase the cans. At the end of the month, the team donated enough cans to create a computer tower, monitor with a keyboard and mouse.
At the conclusion of our drive, all donations were taken to the Capital Area Food Bank. The team ended up donating over 380 cans which weighed in at 404 pounds. This amount equates to 323 meals for local families in need. The CAFB provides food and groceries to more than 350 partner agencies in 21 Central Texas counties. In addition, CAFB provides programs for Partners and those in need free of charge.
Our team is already looking forward to next year and are already coming up with new and more complex structures to build!
