Waterloo Property Management Firm Encourages Students to Give Back
"We felt that not only is it important to help the food bank, but to spread awareness to our tenants and try and engage community members and our students to give back too," says Jannica Dela Paz, a property manager at Schembri Property Management. "Many people are unaware that their local food bank needs help. Even if we all just give a little, we can help a lot. We also decided to give a bonus incentive to our students. Bring in a food item, and we will enter you in a draw to win $200. This helped raise awareness for the need to give back, no matter how big or small, to people who need our help."
THE FOOD BANK OF WATERLOO REGION
The need for emergency food assistance is on the rise in our community. Last year, 34,620 people – 35% of whom are kids – struggled to put food on the table. And that number is only expected to increase as it becomes more difficult to afford the basic necessities, like housing and groceries.
Did you know that every $1 you give fills 3 plates with fresh and healthy food for a hungry person?
