• Express Employment Professionals London Gives Thanks to Community


    LONDON, ONTARIO - June 30, 2015 Express Employment Professionals London is giving thanks to the community of London as the London Food Bank has an extra 56,700lbs of food for its users thanks to those who gave to the 19th Annual London Cares Curb Hunger Food Drive.

    The Food Bank issued a new release Sunday afternoon through the city of London."With ever increasing awareness in the last three days of the drive, we knew Londoners would donate in significant numbers.  The fact we have well exceeded last year’s total only confirms, once again, that this is a generous city that responds when asked,” said Glen Pearson, co-executive Director at the London Food Bank in the release.

    In the past 19 years, the Curb Hunger Food Drive has generated over 1.2 million lbs of food.

    Express Employment Professionals London would like to thank all of those who participated in ‘Brand It Blue Day’ in support of the London Food Bank through the 19th Annual London Cares Curb Hunger Food Drive.
