(Middletown, CT) February 1, 2016 — Winter Storm Jonas proved to pack quite a wallop to much of the North East hitting at least 20 states from Louisiana up to Maine. That’s why, when over a hundred employees were expected to fill the dining room at a local event venue for an annual kickoff meeting and dinner, they had to make some quick decisions just hours before the day the event was scheduled to take place. The Aztec Office Solution’s team resolved to forge forward with the event, but unfortunately, the dinner would have to be canceled.
That’s when Aztec’s team had a great idea and took quick action. They arranged to have the food donated to the Connecticut Food Bank. According to ctfoodbank.org, one in seven people struggle with hunger in Connecticut. The choice was easy, but donating food in this capacity is no easy feat and getting through the red tape to do so could turn off many a novice humanitarian. Thankfully, the paperwork was able to be finished in time and Aztec did indeed pull off their philanthropic endeavor and most importantly, fewer people went to bed hungry in Connecticut that cold winter’s day.
“All of us at Aztec Office were excited to have the opportunity to help. When we decided we would skip the scheduled dinner and get our people home early and safely, we realized we had an opportunity to help. It was great to be able to do some good.” – Steven Roloff, Director of Marketing.
