Thirteen Emerging Leaders in Giving (ELIG) worked in the clean room at Channel One Food Bank & Food Shelf on Monday, July 20th from 6-8 p.m. The volunteers  labeled 2 pallets of canned peas, carrots and beets that will be distributed to local food shelves. They also sorted donated food items that will be made available to clients at the Channel One Food Shelf.

Afterwards the volunteers headed to Whistle Binkies on the Lake for some libations, food and networking.

This was a great opportunity to learn about the hunger needs in our community, meet other young professionals, and feel good by giving time to a worthy cause.

ELIG is a growing network of dynamic, young professionals who support philanthropy, foster connections and are active in the community.

Giving time, talents, and/or resources, ELIG are individuals from a variety of backgrounds who all want to make a positive difference in our community. Here’s more about ELIG.
