WNC Spreads Holiday Cheer with Charity Donations
Working with their established charity organization relationships, WNC employees helped spread holiday cheer by fighting food insecurity and keeping local unhoused individuals warm.
Seven teams competed in WNC’s first food build contest in which teams built structures made of non-perishable food. Teams competed for recognition in building either the most creative or tallest structures. Kudos in the creative category went to the Dispositions and Fund Management team for their holiday themed Christmas tree build. The IT and Construction Risk Management/Compliance team snagged the tallest structure award for a build which touched the ceiling. After the builds were broken down all food was donated to South County Outreach. A total of 2,338 pounds of food was donated.

WNC staff also donated 100 winter bundles to Mercy House, a non-profit partner of the Cooper Housing Institute. Winter bundles included outfits of a jacket or coat/sweatshirt, pants, socks and underwear. Bundles were distributed within the local community. | |
