Employees of Savills’ Orange County, California, office volunteered recently at a local food bank as part of the company’s greater North American charity efforts.
The team, part of the London-based brokerage, worked with Second Harvest Food Bank, a nonprofit group that provides 50,000 to 60,000 pounds of fresh produce each week to residents in the Southern California county. Savills' office had 16 employees, including McKenna Morgan and Morgan Tripp participate and collect food grown at Harvest Solutions Farms in Irvine, California.
Second Harvest aims to service working families, seniors and children, according to its website.
“We envision an Orange County with food and nutritional security for all,” the nonprofit said on its LinkedIn page. “Right now, one in 11 people in Orange County is food insecure, including one in eight children."
Around the same time as the Orange County outing, employees of Savills' Chicago office volunteered at The Greater Chicago Food Depository. That group provides produce to local health clinics and their patients as part of their larger charity efforts.
