ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR HELPS FIGHT HUNGER IN HONOR OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY
Local Enterprise Rent-A-Car employees, in partnership with the University of Bridgeport and Service for Peace, recently visited the Connecticut Food Bank in East Haven to help sort, separate and distribute a variety of food in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
“The Enterprise team was really excited to join forces and help the Connecticut Food Bank,” said Audra Paganelli, human resources supervisor for Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Wilton, CT. “By spreading Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of service to one another we know we can help overcome hunger and homelessness in our community.”
Enterprise employees were taken to the Connecticut Food Bank where they sorted food that had been collected through a variety of food drives held throughout the state in previous months. The food was separated into smaller boxes for various agencies throughout the Fairfield and New Haven Counties.
Founded in 1957 and headquartered in St. Louis, Enterprise Rent-A-Car is an internationally recognized brand with more than 6,000 neighborhood and airport locations in the United States, Canada, the U.K., Ireland, and Germany.
