Scott Deputy & Associates Collect Nearly 1,000 LBS. of Food

December 20, 2017

Scott Deputy & Associates, a residential real estate firm, held their second annual food drive at their office in Greenville, DE on November 20. Employees, clients, and members of the local community were asked to bring donations of non-perishable food items to help provide meals for their neighbors in need during the holiday season. 

This year's event was once again held in partnership with our friends from Hopkins & Sons Moving and Storage, an Atlas Van Lines agent. Hopkins & Sons provided boxes for the collection and volunteered to deliver all of the donations to the Food Bank of Delaware. And there were A LOT more boxes to drop off at the food bank this time around. Scott Deputy & Associates collected 960 lbs. of food, which is more than 3x last year's total, and is enough food to provide 800 meals!

More than 114,000 people in Delaware, including 1 in 6 children, face hunger each day. Thank you to Scotty Deputy, Hopkins & Sons Moving and Storage, and everyone who stopped by to make a donation for working to make a difference in your community.

Make it your New Year’s resolution to hold a food drive in 2018.
