Announcements
Barnes & Thornburg announced that its Wilmington, Delaware, Morristown, New Jersey, and Philadelphia offices hosted a tri-state food drive for Preston & Steve’s 27th annual Camp Out For Hunger drive for the Philabundance food bank.
The event ran from Dec. 2 to 6. Collectively, Barnes & Thornburg donated 250 pounds of food to the cause.
Philabundance was founded in 1984 with the belief that no one should go hungry while healthy food goes to waste. The mission is to drive hunger from communities today and to end hunger for good. To do this, the organization works with over 350 community partners to distribute food throughout nine counties in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey and is a member of the Feeding America network. In addition to food distribution, Philabundance works to reduce food waste, increase access to nutritious meals, and tackle the root causes of hunger through programs such as the Philabundance Community Kitchen.
Speakers

The webinar was designed for HR and benefits managers, safety directors, compliance officers, insurance professionals, business owners and managers as well as their accountants, controllers and attorneys.
