AIMCO (Apartment Investment and Management Company) has a corporate volunteer program called AIMCO Cares. On November 10 2010, local AIMCO employees proved that they really do care, by vounteering at North County's Food Bank! A total of seventeen AIMCO volunteers came and put in three hours both inside and outside the Food Bank warehouse.
Eager to help, volunteers started arriving with plenty of time before the 10:00AM start time. They were all hardworking and willing to do any project or task we needed them to. Their biggest contribution was mulching and loosening the soil in the garden. Thanks to the thick layer of straw they added, we will have less soil compaction and need up to 70% less water, making our new garden at the Food Bank healthier, happier, and easier for us to maintain!
AIMCO volunteers also helped with cleaning up the entire area surrounding the Food Bank, and unloading and sorting our daily food donations. Thank you, AIMCO, for your contribution to North County's Food Bank!
