Department Donates Food for Homeless Shelter

An Astellas department held a food drive benefiting a local food pantry. The goal of the pantry is to provide hospitality, food and emergency shelter to homeless people from October 1 through April 30 of each year.

Six teams competed to see who could reach the goal of collecting at least 600 pounds of food and other items for the pantry. The winning team alone collected 525 pounds; a total of 3,263 pounds was collected and donated.
