The Label Printers, a custom label manufacturer in Aurora, IL, USA, has announced its employees’ recent collection drive for the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry program. The company’s goal was to collect 100 cans or boxes of food.

George Tommasi, director of human resources for The Label Printers, says, “We surpassed the goal and collected a total of 168 items! Thank you for your big hearts and generosity.”

The company also decided to give employees the opportunity to vote on the charitable organizations that the company’s annual end-of-year fundraising efforts will support. This year The Label Printers’ employees have chosen to support Mooseheart Child City and School with money raised from their annual holiday fundraising, and, in addition, they have chosen to sponsor both spring and fall collection drives for the Marie Wilkinson Food Pantry.

Lori Campbell, chief of operations for The Label Printers, say the company is committed to giving employees the space and the support that they need to be good corporate citizens. She says, “All we have to do is encourage them to come up with ideas and give them the incentive to implement those ideas successfully. We’re very pleased to be able to support two worthy organizations through the volunteer fundraising and collection drive efforts of our employees.”
