BASE® 2024 Annual Day of Service to Combat Hunger
Adel, IA – April 2024 – BASE® has designated April 11th as an annual Day of Service.
The business has been in the Adel community for over twenty years and continually supports local organizations to get food and other necessities to those in need.
On April 11, BASE® made Motivation Cards to support the Food Bank of Iowa BackPack Sack program.
The team at BASE® also participated in a food drive and delivered food and monetary donations to the Adel Good Samaritan Food Pantry BackPack Sacks and Kids Summer Food Bags programs available to support youth in and around the community.
“BASE® is no stranger to supporting the Adel Good Samaritan Food Pantry over the years. Today our team came together along with other area team members to support a great cause and combat hunger in the community we work and many of us live. It’s a tremendous feeling knowing the impact we are making to those in need,” said BASE® President, Adam Harrington.
BackPack Sacks provide meals to students in grades K-12 that are food insecure on the weekends throughout the school year, while the Kids Summer Food Bags are available to kids weekly throughout the summer months and include seven breakfast food items, seven lunch, and seven snacks.
Holly Ambrose, a BASE® employee said, “It was awesome to see the entire team come together with donations and creative inspirational cards. We collected a ton of stuff that should make huge impact on the kids right here in our community which is amazing to be a part of.”
Proper childhood nutrition helps kids succeed in school and contribute more later in life, and BASE® is proud to be able to support these initiatives to combat hunger.
