Greater
Boston Food Bank/Deutsche Bank Championship
On Wednesday, August 31, PGA TOUR Wives Association
members and PGA TOUR player Brett Quigley travelled to downtown
Boston to join forces with volunteers from State Street Global
and Deutsche Bank to sort food at the Greater Boston Food
Bank. When we arrived, the volunteers were divided into two
groups for a competition to see who could sort the most food
in two hours. The Blue and Red teams were fiercly competitive
and when the whistle blew, the food flew. Two hours later,
12,000 lbs of food had been sorted and the Red team was victorious.
The Greater
Boston Food Bank distributes more than 24 million pounds of
food annually. The food, which is donated by wholesalers,
retailers and through government food contracts, is then sent
to hunger-relief agencies that distribute it to those in need.
Some of the food procured by the Greater Boston Food Bank
will be diverted to assist those in the Gulf States affected
by Hurricane Katrina.
This was
the second year PTWA members worked at the Food Bank and we
look forward to returning next year to sort even more food!
