FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The third annual Spectrum Brands Corporate Food Drive Challenge is looking for corporate teams for this year’s challenge. The food drive supports the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank.
Spectrum Brands is the host for the program.
The challenge, which is set for Nov. 1 to Nov. 16, will see a change from the past. This year’s format will be broken down into small, medium and large corporations, rather than one division.
This is a way to get better team building opportunities for the participants and to help the community, said Mike Williams, director of development for the Food Bank.
Williams hopes to see an increase to 25 teams from last year’s 17 teams.
Participants in the second annual Spectrum Brands Corporate Food Drive Challenge collected 133,675 pounds of food.
In addition to Spectrum Brands, the 16 other participants in last year’s challenge are Cargill, Castrol Oil, Englander, Signature Bank of Arkansas, Johnson Controls, Smuckers, General Mills, Kraft Heinz, Shell Lubricants, Newell Brands, PepsiCo, Simmons Bank, Unilever, ITW, Johnson & Johnson and Mondelez International.
