VOLUNTEER EVENT 2016 1
A NOTE FROM OUR MARKETING DIRECTOR Hello Cady Atlanta! I know we are all looking forward to the holidays, as it’s a time to be thankful for everything that we’ve been blessed with in 2016. Many of us will enjoy great meals with friends and family, and catch up on some much needed rest! However, some kids right in your backyard may not have some of the comforts that we are all looking forward to in the coming weeks. In metro Atlanta alone there are 500 K-8 kids that look forward to school Monday morning simply because they will be eating a real meal for the first time since Friday afternoon. Instead of just feeling bad about this scary fact, we’re going to do something about it. I’m excited to announce that we will be working with Blessings in a Backpack, as this really hits at our core: students and schools. Not only will we be helping some schools we service on a daily basis, but we will be making strides for Cady’s brand reputation within the community. Ideally, we will expand into our other territories of Illinois and Florida with BIAB, so there will be additional opportunities you can be involved in throughout the year. I look forward to seeing each of you for our first event! My very best, Jessica
