Home Properties Holds Successful Food Drive
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.
(Map)
-
All told, the communities from the nine regional areas collected approximately 8,000 pounds of food and hygiene items. The food banks were very grateful for the residents' willingness to give so generously to such a worthy cause. Many food banks find that they receive fewer donations in the fall because contributions are often organized around the holiday season, so the timing of this food drive was really appreciated.
It is often easy to ignore the pleas of those who have less. Thankfully, Home Properties heard the cry for help and answered the call. Through the actions of the Company and its many wonderful residents, those with less will have more -- not just more food, but more happiness, and more hope. The residents heard that they could make a difference, and they most surely did.
