Local Home Improvement Showroom Joined The National Summer Campaign To Shed the Light On Child Hunger and Support The Greater Chicago Food Depository
Champion Window of Chicago donated more than 135,000 pounds of food this summer to help fight child hunger in their community. The donation was part of a company-wide program to raise awareness of hunger in America and increase the amount of food available through local food banks during the summer months when donations typically decline.
“When we learned that nearly 1 in 4 American children are now impacted by food insecurity we decided it was time to do something; that’s why we created our Close the Window on Hunger program,” said Champion Window Chief Executive Officer Denny Manes. “Champion Window of Chicago set the bar by donating 135,000 pounds of food, the highest of Champion’s 84 stores. This significant accomplishment is a testament to the hard work and dedication of each employee in our Chicago showroom.”
Close The Window On Hunger launched on June 1 and provided Champion Window of Chicago, in Elmhurst IIl. and its customers a chance to help fight hunger in their own community. Champion worked with The Greater Chicago Food Depository (http://www.chicagosfoodbank.org/) by donating 50 pounds of food per in-home appointment, and an additional 100 pounds of food for every project order placed by Aug. 31.
“Here in the Chicagoland area, we recognize the importance of being a part of the community we service and giving back on a local level,” said Steve Piwowar, Division Manager, Champion Window in Elmhurst Ill. (http://closethewindowonhunger.com/midwest/stores/chicago/). “We have worked closely with The Greater Chicago Food Depository in this effort to spread the word and fight hunger our own community and we are thrilled with how much food we were able to donate this summer.”
“For too many children, the end of the school year signals the end of a consistent source of breakfast and lunch,” said Kate Maehr, executive director and CEO of The Greater Chicago Food Depository. “We’re grateful for the support of Champion Factory Direct during these challenging times.”
