Our employees raised $555 in cash to donate and that $555 was then matched by our company which means we collectively gave $1110 to families in need this holiday season. Sometimes, we may take our day to day life and lifestyles for granted, but as someone who has visited homes like the ones that Capital Area Food Bank provides assistance for, I know what an impact even a little help can have on a family in need.

According to their website, Capital Area Food Bank feeds more than 300,000 hungry Central Texans each year. This year their efforts are even more crucial for families that have fallen victim to an ailing ecomony. If you don’t have time during this holiday season, also know that they do serve Central Texans year-round and could use your support. On Valentine’s Day, Starmount employees Luke Marino, Peter Fierro, and Sudhir Madyastha will be helping out again by competing in the Austin Marathon.
