ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR COLLECTS MORE THAN 2,000 LBS. OF FOOD FOR CUMAC IN HONOR OF MLK DAY

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, local Enterprise Rent-A-Car employees visited the CUMAC food pantry in Paterson to help package, sort and prepare food for the more than 2,500 people in need of CUMAC’s services each month.

“Our day of service gave us the opportunity to ensure that the hungry in our community get the food they need to survive,” said Melissa Llosa, accounting supervisor in Enterprise’s Fleet Management Division in Wayne Branch. “More than 60 employees donated food items or made monetary donations in order to support CUMAC and honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy.”

Enterprise employees collected more than 2,000 food items totaling 2,342 pounds of food for the pantry. Seventeen Enterprise volunteers arrived at the facility on Martin Luther King Jr. Day where they spent approximately two hours making food packages, sorting food, and prepping meat for distribution.
