AUGUST 2014 5

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated in the FY15 Staff Appeal. We had a great response and have already surpassed our $20,000 goal by $2,163. Special thanks to the campaign co-chairs Isaac Burren, Lucas Campbell and Lisa Farrow for your help with this effort.

As you know, funds raised through this campaign will purchase 28 lug carts used for the collection of meat through our Retail Store Donation Program. According to Simon, these carts should increase meat donations by over 200,000 pounds annually; that is a cost savings of $197,570!
