Sempris Associates Celebrate the Reason for the Season with Popular Charity Drive
Sempris, LLC employees' annual holiday-giving campaign netted hefty donations for Second Harvest Heartland, Twin Cities Toys for Tots, and the Minneapolis Salvation Army.
- (1888PressRelease) January 22, 2014 - MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - During the 2013 holiday season, employees of Sempris, LLC, a Minneapolis-based company, conducted three separate charitable drives to ensure happier holidays for members of their community in need.
A food drive held in conjunction with Sempris business associate Financial Concepts, Inc. raised a total of $1,705 and 1,150 pounds of food, which equated to a grand total of 13,085 pounds of food, (how can it be both 1,150 abd 13,085?) and providing approximately 10,904 meals.
Sempris employees donated several new warm winter coats, hats, mittens, and blankets to the Salvation Army. Other personal necessities such as thick socks, undershirts, pajamas, and toiletries were donated as well.
Of course, the perennial favorite activity at Sempris was selecting toys for the Marine Corps' Toys for Tots drive. Throughout the month of December, the Sempris break room was filled with unicorns and soccer balls, laughing Elmo dolls, board games and Barbie dolls, as well as other colorful, interactive and fun toys for children of all ages.
Sempris Chairman, President and CEO George S. Richards, who donated several of the heavy winter coats for men, said, "I'm very pleased and proud to see the generosity of our employees. They continue to inspire me with their enthusiasm for reaching out to those who are in need of a little extra help. As a company, Sempris looks forward to continuing to give back to our community throughout 2014."
