I am pleased to announce the results of our recent food drive to benefit Food for Others, a 501(c) (3) tax exempt nonprofit organization in Vienna, Virginia. They are the largest distributor of free food directly to people in Northern Virginia, providing the assistance greatly needed by our unemployed and low-income neighbors.

Each year in November, The Business Bank collects donations from our generous clients, employees and neighboring communities in an effort to provide as much food as possible to this indispensible organization. This year, The Business Bank raised 3,503 pounds of food, which is around 53 pounds of food per employee, and an astounding 292% increase over our total contribution last year! Of our eight offices, the Sterling Office was able to raise the most donated food for the 3rd straight year, totaling 2,284 pounds.

The amount of food that we raised is amazing and guarantees that many needy families will have food on their tables this holiday season. We hope it will make a difference in the lives of many families living in the Northern Virginia area.

Happy New Year!
