Cadillac Employees Volunteer for Health
Wed, Aug 10, 2011
On July 20th, 2011 Firstbank and Eagle Village teamed up to help distribute food to low income families. Local volunteers help distribute healthy food twice a month. The theme for the day was “Have a peach of a day”. The Eagle Village students and staff gave out peaches to every person in attendance and made posters on the importance of having fruit in your diet to stay healthy. Firstbank sponsored all the T-shirts for Eagle Village and Firstbank employees were also volunteers.
Thanks to Godfrey Chevrolet for sponsoring the truck of food, as well as the YMCA for putting on the challenge!
