Food insecurity is an enormous problem in Los Angeles, one that has only been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a typical month before COVID-19, the LA Regional Food Bank provided food to 300,000 people. That number has increased exponentially and is now estimated to be at more than 900,000 people served monthly.

In the past, Webcor's SoCal Community Committee has typically held a Silent Auction at the annual holiday party to raise funds for the local community. Due to COVID, the team opted to take the fundraising virtual.

Webcorians were able to purchase virtual raffle tickets and were subsequently emailed their tickets. On Dec. 18, a live Zoom raffle was held – giving away a variety of coveted items that were generously sponsored by the company and its subcontracting partners.

While unable to meet in person, there was no shortage of generosity!

Together, SoCal Webcorians raised $2,140 for the LA Regional Food Bank, which will go towards over 8,500 meals for LA residents in need.

“Once again, it’s a great showing and testament to your gratefulness and generosity,” said Senior Vice President Gust Soteropulos. “No one should be without food, and you helped a lot towards reaching the goal of eliminating hunger. Thank you and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!”
