Integrity
Ambulance Service Gives Back
Integrity
Ambulance Service employees have stepped up to ensure the
residents of Darke County don’t go hungry.
In December, 2012 the
employees of Integrity Ambulance Service launched their first Station
Holiday
Challenge. During
this challenge, the
employees donated canned foods and non-perishable items to their
employing stations,
spreading from Toledo to Dayton. Items
were collected between December 10 and December 24.
Over 700 pounds of food was collected
and
donated to the local FISH Choice Pantry located in Darke County.
“Due
to some of the toughest financial times our country has seen
in decades, many local food banks have shortages more now than ever,”
says Brad
Felder, President and CEO of Integrity Ambulance Service. “We are proud to
help support our community
in which we serve during these times when it’s needed most. “
The
FISH pantry is an independent non-profit charity supported by donations
from individuals and congregations of all denominations and served by
caring volunteers of all faiths from across the community. Doug Bickley, Volunteer
and Advisory Board member
states “We help feed 1600 people on average a month, which is about 400
families.” The FISH
Choice Pantry is
located at 400 Markwith. “Donations
are
accepted anytime; someone checks the donation box every day,” says
Bickley.
Integrity
Ambulance Service will continue donating food to FISH and
other food pantries in areas where they serve throughout the year.
