Express Employment Professionals, the largest privately held staffing company in North America, is setting aside a day of volunteerism known as “Brand It Blue Day.”
On Saturday, June 14, Express Employment Professionals offices from California to North Carolina to Canada will join together at local food banks and pantries 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 Connie Druliner, Bend Express franchisee. “Brand It Blue Day is a chance for Express offices to honor the communities that have supported us through the years by giving back.”
Beginning now through June 14, Express will host a food drive at its office, located at 400 SW Bluff Drive, Suite 200, where you can drop off non-perishablefood. And then on June 14, volunteers will gather the food and take it to The Salvation Army.
“Because Brand It Blue Day takes place on Father’s Day weekend, we feel it’s a great opportunity for families to enjoy the importance of volunteering together,” Druliner said. “It’s going to be a great time to bring families together to help others.”
This is the second year that the staffing company has sponsored Brand It Blue Day. In 2013, 192 Express offices and 1,500 volunteers donated more than 110,000 pounds of food to local food banks.
The Bend Express office is a franchise of Express Employment Professionals and puts people to work. In 2013, the company generated more than $2.5 billion in sales and employed nearly 400,000 people. Express ranks as the largest privately held staffing company in the United States. For more information, visit www.expresspros.com.
