On Wednesday November 11, 2009 AJ Manufacturing held an annual Bloomer Area Food Pantry drive. A bit different than prior years, this year’s drive requested monetary donations in lieu of food. Additionally, AJ Manufacturing agreed to match employee contributions. Employee contributions equaled $1,075 making the grand total (with the AJ match), $2150! A check for $2150 was made out to “Buckets for Hunger”, a Wisconsin organization that raises money for hunger relief. “Buckets for Hunger” will match fifty cents on the dollar of all contributions to the pantry between October 1 and November 30, 2009!

In appreciation of employee’s participation in the drive, AJ Manufacturing provided a spaghetti luncheon along with pie from Main Street Café. Great job everyone on a very successful drive!!
