Twelve employees of Advantax volunteered on 4/28 at Feed My Starving Children (www.fmsc.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to sending millions of meals to starving and malnourished children across the world.  Our team was one of several groups (other companies, families, churches, clubs, etc) packing food that day.  After a briefing on poverty and how the meals were packaged and used, we went to work packing as many meals as possible in 2 hours.  It was an exciting way to spend the afternoon and gave us a chance to have lots of fun, engage in team building, and make a difference.  In the end 103 boxes were packed, which means 22,248 meals; 61 kids fed for a year!  What a great day’s work!

On 5/17, fourteen Advantax employees and members of their families participated or helped in the Feets of Strength 5k Run/Walk, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to creating positive memories for abused and neglected children in our community.  The weather was great for running/walking and each participant had the opportunity to raise both awareness and support for the needs of these children.

I’m excited that activities such as these are part of the culture at Advantax and proud to work with individuals dedicated to helping others.
