Holiday Donation Deliveries 2010

As we mentioned in our previous post, this holiday season – as a way of saying thanks to our producer partners and our clients – Sterling and our employees have donated to five food banks in our markets throughout the country (including Northwest Harvest not pictured).

We are pleased to share these photographs taken at the food banks as we delivered our donations in your honor.

Second Harvest Food Bank

A Sterling client, Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties has been providing services to the community since 1974. They are the single largest non-profit provider of food to low-income people in that area -  the majority of whom are families with dependent children and senior citizens.
