FORT MEYERS, Fla. (PRWEB) July 31, 2018 -- Midland IRA’s entire company donated a total of 194 hours volunteering during the week of July 23 through July 27 in an initiative called “Midland Serves”, where 49 employees volunteered at local food banks for the company’s first annual volunteer week. All three company locations which includes Fort Myers, Chicago and Sioux Falls participated in Midland Volunteer Week.
Midland IRA makes it a part of their mission to give back to the local community. The company created Midland Volunteer Week in an effort to get the entire staff involved in volunteering for an entire week together. Between Midland’s three office locations, 49 employees participated by working at local food banks.
The Fort Myers, Florida Midland IRA office volunteered at a local SWFL food bank’s distribution center to help sort and pack food for those in need. Midland donated a total of 135 hours sorting frozen meat and fresh produce. Midland IRA’s Chicago, Illinois office volunteered for the mobile food pantry. Individuals spent a total of 50 hours serving food to the homeless. The Midland Trust Company office in Sioux Falls also volunteered during Midland Volunteer Week for 9 hours at a local food bank in South Dakota.
Someone once said that “Volunteering is the ultimate exercise in democracy. You vote in elections once a year, but when you volunteer, you vote every day about the kind of community you want to live in”. Midland IRA strives to be involved in the community by volunteering quarterly and by organizing food drives. “I am really proud of my staff” says Dave Owens, President and CEO of Midland IRA. “It’s exciting to see everyone working hard volunteering, and it feels great knowing that we are making a difference”.
Midland IRA plans to continue their “Midland Serves” initiative by regularly volunteering throughout the year.
