• Express Employment Professionals in London Joins Nationwide Effort to Fight Hunger
    Brand It Blue Day Set for Saturday, June 11 2016

    LONDON, ONTARIO - May 16, 2016 Express Employment Professionals, an internationally franchised staffing company, is setting aside a day of volunteerism known as “Brand It Blue Day.”

    On Saturday, June 11, Express Employment Professionals offices across the United States and Canada will join together at local food banks and grocery stores to help fight hunger—a growing epidemic that impacts millions of people in the U.S., Canada and around the world every day.

    “Brand It Blue Day is a day each Express franchise can come together for one great cause to help the community,” said Mercer, London Express franchisee. “This is a chance for Express offices to honor the communities that have supported us through the years by giving back.”

    Beginning May 16th through June 11, Express London will host a food drive at its office, located at 300 Dundas Street, Unit 200, where you can drop off non-perishable food. And then on June 11, volunteers will gather the food and take it to the London Food Bank, as well as volunteer on site and at local grocery stores around the city.

    “The summertime is an especially difficult season for children who depend on the meals they receive at school,” Mercer said. “The donations we receive will help provide meals for children and their families in our community.”

    If you would like to volunteer, please sign up at ExpressPros.com/BrandItBlueDay. Volunteers will receive an Express T-shirt to wear on Brand It Blue Day. This is the fourth year that the staffing company has held Brand It Blue Day. During that time, more than 200 Express offices and 1,500 volunteers have donated their time and resources to provide more than 156,000 meals to local food banks and charitable organizations.
