SANDMEYER STEEL COMPANY SERVES AT PHILABUNDANCE AND CATHEDRAL SOUP KITCHEN

Thu., April 26, 2018 City of Philadelphia

Sandmeyer Steel Company employees and family members made March 2018 a time for volunteering and helping the community with their SANDMEYER SERVES initiative.

On Tuesday evening, March 6, 2018, 12 employees traveled to South Philadelphia to volunteer their time at Philabundance.  In addition to taking nine bags of food items, which were donated from the employees, they also spent over two hours sorting through boxes and boxes of clementines.   Their task –  to separate the good clementines from the bad ones.   At the end of the evening, the volunteers were able to box 5,240 lbs. of good clementines, which were then packaged in 262  20-lb. boxes.   The best news is that these clementines were out in the community the following day, feeding the hungry.

Then, on Saturday morning, March 24, 2018, 13 employees and family members traveled across the bridge to Cathedral Soup Kitchen in Camden.   Once again items donated by Sandmeyer Steel Company employees were brought to Cathedral Soup Kitchen.  Volunteers spent their time bagging food for the homeless and less fortunate, then plating, serving, and cleaning up the mid-day meal.  Over 300 people were given a meal of chicken tenders, cole slaw or salad, french fries, roll, and a drink.

SANDMEYER SERVES was derived directly from the Sandmeyer Steel Company Vision Statement to achieve the goal of “making significant contributions to the communities in which we work and live.”
