UPS Volunteer Group

Last Thursday we had a group of 20 UPS managers and executives from all over Arizona join us for the day. The group spent the morning and part of the afternoon using our Board Room for their monthly management meeting. We were able to supply them with all of their audio visual needs and refreshments. I had the opportunity to welcome the group and talk to them about the issue of hunger right here in Arizona, give them a little history lesson of St Mary's and then talk about the role we play in distributing food into our community. It was a wonderful opportunity to expose a senior group of managers to an issue they really did not understand or comprehend the scale of right in their own backyards. Mid-afternoon, after their business meeting ended, the group changed out of their business attire and moved into the warehouse and proceeded to sort 10,000 pounds of food .....setting a new record for the amount sorted in one hour. I know this group from UPS had a very productive business meeting but also took the opportunity to give back to the community through volunteering. What a wonderful combination.....definitely a WIN - WIN - WIN.....UPS - ST MARY'S - THE COMMUNITY!!!!
