On October 19, 2019, Leech Tishman’s Pasadena, CA and El Segundo, CA offices participated in a Community Impact Day organized by the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. 10 Leech Tishman employees, together with a team from FedEx as well as a group organized by an 18-year old individual celebrating his birthday, packed 3,657 boxes of food for underprivileged persons. The team worked directly on a line benefiting 29,000 Los Angeles County elderly residents in Los Angeles County.
Over the course of the morning, the team assembled packages consisting of a variety of food items including canned fruit, canned vegetables, rice, cereal and other non-perishable food items.
“The volunteer event at the LA Regional Food Bank was a great success,” stated Eric J. Wu, Counsel in the El Segundo, CA office. “It was wonderful to see our team work together to benefit county residents in need. Leech Tishman is committed to supporting the communities in which we operate, and we look forward to being involved with future volunteering events like this one.”
