Annual Fall Food Drive Benefits 91 Charities

Our 2024 Fall Food Drive wrapped up at the end of October with impressive results – collecting more than $41,000 and 16,500 non-perishable food items to help people facing food insecurity in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and California. The donations are thanks to clients and employees, who rallied together to donate food and funds to 91 charitable organizations in the communities we serve.

All 2024 donations were distributed to area food banks and food assistance programs handpicked by our teams who live and work in those communities.

With grocery bills remaining high, these donations will literally help put food on the table for people in need. The campaign ran throughout the month of October, with food donation bins at our branches and in our support team offices. From canned fruit and veggies to boxed pasta dinners, people showed up and gave generously to help their neighbors. Those who preferred to donate money could do so at any branch.

Our Fall Food Drive is one of many initiatives we champion to give back to the communities where we live and work. In all, we will end 2024 having supported more than 1,000 non-profit organizations by contributing nearly $2 million to their important causes. Additionally, team members volunteer thousands of hours each year as part of our company-wide Community Connections program, which provides paid time off to volunteer during work hours at the charities of their choice.
