At Medworks, we strive to #MakeTheRoomBetter and we also want to make our surrounding communities a better place! During the month of March, our team pulled together and participated in a food drive for Feed More, Central Virginia’s hunger-relief organization. 

Of course, we had to make it extra fun with a little competition. Dividing into three teams, Sales, Service, and Admin, we raced to see which could gather the highest number of canned goods by month’s end. It was our own kind of March Madness! The rivalry was intense, and every tactic was used: posting videos on social media, asking neighbors to participate, donating our own time and resources, even soliciting help from our local stores. 

Although we had a blast with our competitive spirits running high, the main joy and excitement came in seeing the outpouring of canned goods that streamed through our office doors! By March 31st, our front reception area was packed with mountains of donated food! Our winning team, the Admin team, gathered a total of 2,538 food items. As a company, we donated 4,770 food items, which weighed in at 3,177 pounds!

Our passion as an organization is to help others in the best way we can, and we could not have asked for a better way to help our Richmond community than by partnering with Feed More to kick off our first outreach for 2021!  While many folks are still fighting through the effects of this pandemic, it was an honor to help families worry less about an important yet basic need such as getting nutritious food on their tables. We are confident that many families will continue to benefit through Feed More’s programs and agency network.
