CNW Employees Holiday Food Drive a Success!

by James L. Butler, Planned Maintenance and Rental Sales Manager

Though it is often easy to forget those who are less fortunate during the festive holiday season, Cummins Northwest employees worked diligently to make sure needy families had a nice holiday meal.

To do so, Cummins Northwest teamed up with the Oregon Food Bank in Oregon and Northwest Harvest in Washington to collect food.
Employees participated in a collection drive, and donated many non-perishable food items throughout the end of the year. By the end of the drive, employees had donated 18,054 pounds of food. The food went to thousands of families, and gave hope for a better new year.
