Vacation Innovations Hosts Successful Thanksgiving Food Drive

We hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! Thursday and Friday our offices were closed, but we prepared for Thanksgiving throughout the month of November. To get in the holiday spirit, we hosted our annual food drive in both our Exeter and Orlando offices.

Over the past month, we asked our employees to support a food drive for local charities. To encourage everyone to donate as much as possible, our parent company, Vacation Innovations, held a contest between departments to see who could collect the most donations.

All items collected by the Exeter office were donated to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Laconia, NH. This local organization collects food and other items to assist members of the community. Throughout the year the Society of St. Vincent de Paul supports a variety of programs including a food bank for those in need and a thrift store to raise money for other forms of financial assistance.

In Orlando, all donations were brought to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. This organization helps over 550 feeding partners (such as shelters, soup kitchens, etc.) all across Central Florida. With the help of food drives like this one, their food bank is able to distributed millions of pounds of food. In 2013, they distributed over 64 million pounds, equal to 53 million meals to those in need.

All together, we collected over 700 food items! To thank the employees for a great effort (and for their hard work every day), each office enjoyed a Thanksgiving luncheon to celebrate.

On behalf of The Timeshare Authority, we hope that everyone enjoyed a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
