SOLitude's Little GOBBLERs Program Helps Hundreds at Thanksgiving

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Nov. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Through its corporate volunteering and outreach program, The SOLution, SOLitude Lake Management, an industry leader in lake and pond management, fisheries management and related environmental services for the Eastern United States, donated $2875 in turkeys and grocery store gift cards to 138 under resourced families.

This year, SOLitude's 'Little GOBBLERs' program increased 10 percent over 2013. Eleven elementary and middle schools located in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Newport News, Fredericksburg and Charlottesville, VA, Raleigh, NC, Lincoln, DE and West Grove, PA identified a need for Thanksgiving meal donations within their schools. The schools and families were extremely grateful for SOLitude’s assistance at this time of the year.

In addition to giving turkeys, the SOLitude team donated time to the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank to assist in preparing bags for under resourced families. The team assembled 1,140 bags of food to be distributed to 21 schools to fulfill food needs over the Thanksgiving break.

“Each year, the entire team looks forward to supporting these under resourced families,” said Tracy King, SOLitude's Director of Marketing. “Through The SOLution and the Little GOBBLERs initiative, we all appreciate the opportunity to give back to the communities in which we serve.”

The SOLution is a company-wide program that encourages the company and all employees to strive to “create a better world” through volunteerism, community outreach, sustainability and environmental consciousness. SOLitude’s company leadership feels it is important to not only be good stewards of the environment and good corporate citizens, but also to fulfill company core values to “take action and be accountable” and to “protect and respect nature.” To participate or share a non-profit's goals for consideration in The SOLution, contact Tracy King at tking@solitudelake.com.
