Paula Deen’s Box Lunch to End Hunger Event Recap

As most of you know, sponsoring charities is near and dear to the heart of our company and our family. When the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama and Paula Deen asked us to participate in Paula Deen’s Box Lunch to End Hunger, we jumped at the chance. Not only was the event a lot of fun, but we also raised more than $9,000! Last year, more than 9 million pounds of food was distributed in our area. It’s so fulfilling to support the community and make a difference in the lives around you. Below are some highlights.

The event was hosted at the beautiful Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

Some of our wonderful Hoffman Media team helping setup for the event.

Paula’s The Bag Lady Foundation generously donated $5,000 to the cause.

$15 is all it takes to provide 65 pounds of food to needy families!

Paula got a little helper on the box lunch line.

The gang’s all here! I love getting to spend time with Paula and her husband, Michael.
