Ameriprise financial advisors, staff and employees across more than 45 states have committed to volunteering at approximately 350 hunger relief organizations in their local communities. “Ameriprise Financial is dedicated to supporting organizations like the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank that are committed to hunger relief efforts,” said Anthony Perez, who organized the local volunteer efforts. “As the recession made clear by leaving one in six Americans struggling with food scarcity, hunger knows no boundaries. Our goal with this project is to lift up those in our community who’ve fallen on hard times and had difficulty putting food on the table. In partnering with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, I know we’re making a difference.” The following local financial advisors are participating in the event: Anthony Perez, Barry Engelman, Agustine Choi, Jose Ching, and Erika Puzik. Members of the community also have an opportunity to help support domestic hunger relief efforts and make a more significant impact than they could on their own.
