Kastle Kicks off Partnership with Holiday Food Drive

Our new partners from Kastle Systems did their part to fight hunger during the holidays by hosting a Season of Giving Food Drive at their offices in Falls Church, VA.

The food drive kicked off on Giving Tuesday and concluded on December 17. Kastle's 150 employees were encouraged to donate canned vegetables, pasta, instant potatoes, gravy, pie filling, and other holiday staples to help set the table for their neighbors in need. In just 2 weeks, the staff collected 350 pounds of food, which is the equivalent of 290 meals! The crew from Paxton Van Lines assisted in the effort by volunteering to pick up the donations and deliver them to the Capital Area Food Bank. 

Kastle is a leader in their community and is always searching for new ways to give back. In addition to being included on the 2018 and 2019 Corporate Philanthropy Lists by the Washington Business Journal, Kastle is also recognized as one of Greater Washington’s leading corporate supporters of area non-profits. We are so excited that Kastle believes in our mission to reduce food waste & fight hunger!

Nearly 380,000 people in the greater Washington D.C. area are food insecure, including 1 in 8 children. Many thanks to Kastle Systems and Paxton Van Lines in helping provide hundreds of meals during the holidays!
