Cambridge and Zanesville, Ohio – The food pantry at the Guernsey County Senior Citizens Center will have nearly 1,200 pounds of additional food to share with those in need this holiday season thanks to generous team members at Rea & Associates. The Cambridge and Zanesville offices of the CPA firm raised 1,194 pounds of food as part of a firm-wide drive that raised nearly 18,000 pounds among the firm's 11 offices.
"We know that the need for food is greater than ever this holiday season," said Maribeth Wright, CPA, office manager at Rea's Cambridge office.
"Ever since Richard Rea founded Rea & Associates in 1938, helping our community has been an important part of our culture," added Chad Bice, CPA, manager of Rea's Zanesville office. "The food drive is a way that all of our offices can work together to support a common cause that benefits each of the local communities we serve."
June Klingensmith, office administrator and one of the food drive's coordinators, said, "We are lucky to work side-by-side with some very generous, awesome people. Year after year, they continue to amaze me with the donations they bring.
Each Rea office designated a local charitable organization to receive the donations from its food collection. The offices held a friendly competition to determine which office could raise the most pounds of food per employee. The Cambridge and Zanesville team members donated an average of 108.5 pounds of food per person and finished second in the contest.
