Comerica Bank and Growlers Join Forces for Food Security
Comerica Bank Teams Up with Kalamazoo Growlers for a Charitable Cause
In a fantastic collaborative effort, Comerica Bank has once again joined forces with the Kalamazoo Growlers for their eagerly awaited Summer Food Drive. This annual initiative aims to boost food security in the community by assisting the South Michigan Food Bank (SMFB). With participation encouraged, this drive highlights the commitment both organizations share towards supporting those in need.
How the Summer Food Drive Works
The Summer Food Drive is running for a full month, creating ample opportunity for community members to donate nonperishable items at participating Comerica banking centers. By dropping off these vital contributions, community members not only help fill pantry shelves but can also earn exciting rewards, including ticket vouchers to a Growlers game.
Participate and Get Rewarded
For every five items donated, supporters will receive a ticket voucher to enjoy a Growlers game. Moreover, for those who contribute 20 items or more, a special Growlers-themed prize awaits. This year's drive has expanded to allow fans to make donations during Growlers home games. Attending the July game gives fans a chance to donate directly at the gate, enhancing the sense of community involvement.
Community Impact and Goals
Since the drive's inception, it has yielded significant contributions, providing over 193,000 meals to those in need. This partnership has not only showcased the generosity within the community but also illustrated how two organizations can come together to make a lasting impact.
Giving Back: A Win-Win for Everyone
According to Debra Hanes, Senior Vice President at Comerica Bank, the food drive has successfully garnered substantial support, reflecting the community’s willingness to combat hunger. The focus remains on ensuring healthy meals reach those who require assistance, thereby uplifting the community as a whole.
A Focus on Education and Engagement
Beyond the food drive, Comerica and the Growlers are also involved in educational initiatives, participating in local events like the Kalamazoo Growlers Education Day. This year, students engaged in hands-on STEM education while learning vital financial skills presented by Comerica's financial educators.
Celebrating Community Engagement
Through these exciting partnerships, Comerica Bank reaffirms its commitment to community enhancement. The bank guides local residents toward financial success while providing a platform for charitable efforts through events like the Summer Food Drive.
Upcoming Events: Don’t Miss Out!
The culmination of the Summer Food Drive will be celebrated during a special event at Homer Stryker Field, where the total amount of food collected will be presented on field. This grand announcement takes place on game day, engaging fans and fostering excitement around the initiative.
