ITASCA, IL - EMKAY, Incorporated announced the results of their Summer Corporate Citizenship Event, the 2010 Employee Food Drive, "FEED The NEED." This event was held over a span of two weeks, and the results of EMKAY's efforts raised over 1,100 pounds of food that was donated to the Northern Illinois Food Bank (NIFB). This inspiring display of support was accomplished by an overall desire by all of EMKAY's employees to giveback, and help those in need within our community.

"Our employee response to this event was truly heartwarming. The amount of enthusiasm that was displayed for this food drive was beyonf expectations. In fact, we had one department alone donate almost 45 pounds of food per person." stated Michelle Lewis, Co-Chairperson of EMKAY's Activity Committee.
