Funds in Community Services

On behalf of the 2023 rural interns, we are excited to announce the details for the 2023 food drive! Click below to watch a video with all of the details. How to donate: We are collecting non-perishable food items in our offices or you can make a monetary donation directly via Bright Funds. A fund has been created in Bright Funds for Feeding America, or you can donate to a local food pantry of your choice. If you aren’t near an office, but would still like to participate, items can be taken to a local food pantry. After donations have been made, send a photo of the items or the monetary donation receipt to your selected territory’s intern listed below. How scoring works: • 1 point = $1 (or one item) • Gift matching contributions via Bright Funds will not count toward the total, but employees with gift matching left for 2023 are encouraged to match their donation • If you are not officially assigned to a territory, you can select whichever one you’d like to support in the competition • Regardless of how you donate, send an email that includes the number of items or dollar amount you donated to the intern for the territory you wish to contribute to. Pictures are encouraged when possible. Make sure your email includes the amount donated, organization you donated to and which territory team you’re on. When to donate: You have until noon CT Friday, July 28 for it to count for the competition. Who to contact: Central – Weston Guetterman East – Ryan Winkler Pacific – Kimberly Ponce West – Halle Schindler We are excited to be giving and volunteering in our communities and can’t wait to see who is crowned as the winning territory. Thank you to all that participate this year! Sincerely, The 2023 Interns
