Tympani employees volunteered 75 hours at community organizations, donated food and meals to food banks, and educated themselves on hunger issues in America as part of Tympani's Hunger Games 2015 initiative. Employees sorted and packed over 5,000 pounds of food, served 100+ meals, and harvested beans to donate over 15 pounds. They also donated Thanksgiving meals and made monetary donations through partnerships. The initiative helped employees learn about hunger through shared meals, statistics, documentaries and community garden visits.

GCFD is playing a big role in
trying to help the hungry.”

gratitude and the whole evening had
a sense of community and
togetherness.”
-Dave Gaudio

enabled me to learn more about
where my food comes from, but it
also enabled me to do something
good for our community.”
-Starza Thompson
Tympani Marketing Director

work for a company with so

willing to donate their time,
talents, and energy to help out
those in need.”

Wheaton, I had no idea about the
good work being done at the People’s

people who were thankful for the
resources being provided.”

12. “Volunteering at the Wheaton Food
