Total Transportation Services recently completed its annual food drive to support the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB). Sixty-six employees from the corporate office in Plano, Texas, collected a grand total of 3,007 food items weighing 2,442 pounds. This total amazingly exceeded last year's food drive by 1,835 food items. TTS also collected $50 in monetary donations for NTFB to purchase other items as needed.
The food drive is part of the Responsible Corporate Citizenship (RCC) program the company employs to encourage community involvement throughout the organization.
"We are very thankful to all who participated," said Peggy Garrett, the RCC Committee Leader. "It was a great team effort by all and their generosity will feed the hungry today, tomorrow and for the holidays."
The employees were divided into seven teams with each competing to see which team could contribute the most food items. Team DEVON won the competition with a total of 717 items. As pictured, the winning team members included (Back row, L to R) Steve Moreno, Debbie Leeper, Jason Clair, Angie Carvajal.

NTFB addresses the critical issue of hunger in the North Texas area by securing food donations for distribution through a network of charitable organizations who feed the hungry in 13 North Texas counties, including Dallas, Denton, Collin, Fannin, Rockwall, Hunt, Grayson, Kaufman, Ellis, Navarro, Lamar, Delta and Hopkins. The North Texas Food Bank has many programs that benefits 600+ feeding/education programs, including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, after-school programs, senior citizen centers, and other social service centers. These organizations receive food from the Food Bank and distribute to North Texans in need through their pantry and on-site meal programs.
