The holiday season is not only a time to count our blessings, but to lend a hand to those in need, and this holiday season is no exception. For the third year in a row, FEECO has donated a turkey to Paul’s Pantry in the name of each of its 100 employees.
Paul’s Pantry, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, is a volunteer-run food pantry, which is supported solely by volunteers, food suppliers, and donors. The community supported organization has been helping to feed families since its founding in 1984. Though they feed families year-round, the holidays are an especially busy time.
Each holiday season for the past three years, FEECO has given turkeys to Paul’s Pantry in the name of each of its 100 employees. This year, however, was extra special. This year, three other business in the Green Bay area showed their generosity by joining FEECO in donating a turkey in the name of each employee.
Dan Madigan, President of FEECO, stated, “This is the time of year to give thanks, and to lend a hand to others in their time of need. We have been very blessed as a company the last few years, as others have struggled. In recognition of the blessings that each of us has been given, we want to recognize the greatest gift within FEECO: it’s people. So in thanks for all of our efforts that make us successful, we wanted to make sure that 100 families can have a Christmas dinner as a gift in the name of each employee at FEECO.”
Among the businesses who donated alongside FEECO, were Xtreme Trucking (special thanks to Travis Nelson), Associated Bank (special thanks to Tim Lau and Jodi Blom), Metzler, Timm, Treleven, Pahl, Beck, S.C.’s employees (special thanks to Attorney Cynthia Caine Treleven), as well as several individual employee donations from FEECO International, Inc. & Encap LLC,
Altogether, 200 turkeys were donated to Paul’s Pantry, which means that 200 families in the Green Bay area will have a turkey for Christmas dinner.
