CRC CARES Participates in NVFS's Operation Turkey Drive

Embodying the Thanksgiving spirit, CRC CARES members at the Mid-Atlantic offices of CBG Building Company participated in the annual Northern Virginia Family Service (NVFS) Operation Turkey food drive. 

CRC CARES members banded together to provide Thanksgiving meals to families who would otherwise not have food for the occasion. Donation items included canned vegetables and fruit, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, cornbread/muffin mix, soup, boxed desserts, and more.

An average of $50 completes a holiday meal for a family of four, according to NVFS. CRC CARES was able to collect over $1200 in canned food, thus providing meals for at least 24 families.
