Wenatchee Express Employment professionals joins nationwide effort to fight hunger

Brand It Blue Day set for June 11

Posted

Wenatchee - June 2017—Express Employment Professionals, an internationally franchised staffing company, is setting aside a day of volunteerism known as “Brand It Blue Day.”

On Saturday, June 10, Express Employment Professionals offices from California to North Carolina to Canada will join together at local food banks and pantries to help fight hunger—a growing epidemic that impacts millions of people in the U.S., Canada and around the world every day.

“Brand It Blue Day is a day each Express franchise can come together for one great cause to help the community,” said Jay Smith, Wenatchee Express franchisee. “This is a chance for Express offices to honor the communities that have supported us through the years by giving back.”

Beginning Monday, May 1  through June 11, Express will host a food drive at its office, located at 411 N. Chelan, Suite B in Wenatchee as well as participating Auto Dealerships in Wenatchee, where you can drop off non-perishable food. And then on Saturday, June 10th, volunteers will gather the food and take it to a local food bank in Wenatchee.

“The summertime is an especially difficult season for children who depend on the meals they receive at school,” Smith said. “The donations we receive will help provide meals for children and their families in our community.”

If you would like to volunteer, please sign up at ExpressPros.com/BrandItBlueDay. Volunteers will receive Express T-shirts to wear on Brand It Blue Day. This is the fourth year that the staffing company has held Brand It Blue Day. During that time, more than 235 Express offices and 1,500 volunteers have donated their time and resources to provide more than 265,000 meals to local food banks and charitable organizations.
