From March 8-9, Northwest Exterminating employees joined the “From Hope to Hunger” initiative with Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), a local charity. Team members from the Marietta, Ga.-based firm packed more than 3,000 meals, which will be provided to children across the world to help combat hunger.
FMSC is a non-profit organization that works to ship meals to undernourished children with the help of volunteers and distribution partners. Its mission is “to reach everyone, until ALL are fed;” the organization has provided more than 2 billion meals and counting.
“It was such an honor to get our Northwest teammates together with our Co-Presidents, Stephen and Stanford Phillips, to spend a few hours serving to make a difference,” says Kristen Milligan, co-director of the company’s Good Deed Team. Each year, the Good Deed Team sets out to “bring simple, meaningful opportunities for our Northwest team to create a positive impact.”
The Northwest Good Deed Team was formed in 2011, with the sole focus on being active and involved in the communities in which Northwest Exterminating serves.
