Durrett Sheppard: Thanksgiving Food Drive

‘Tis the Season for Giving… Toys!

During the month of October, the Accounting Department at Durrett Sheppard Steel hosted a Thanksgiving Food Drive at their office, benefiting the Salvation Army. Many employees donated, some on a weekly basis. They placed boxes and donation cans throughout the office and lunch rooms, which provided several Thanksgiving meal kits and many gift certificates. The idea came about by employee JoAnne Geiger, who is passionate about the Salvation Army’s various community programs. “I have worked with the Salvation Army for over 20 years with programs like the Thanksgiving Food Drive, Stuff-A-Stocking, Dress-A-Bear and Angel Tree. When my children were young, I used the Salvation Army programs as a way to teach them to be thankful and to give,” said JoAnne.

Below are some photo highlights from the Toy Drives that took place from November 19 to December 21.
