The AICP West Board announces the second annual #AICPgives, a Food & Goods Drive to benefit local non-profit organization Gobble Gobble Give which served thousands of needy families and individuals over the last 14 years. Last year, with our help, Gobble, Gobble Give provided care packages and meals to over 3,000 people in Los Angeles.
AICP member companies and all industry partners and affiliates are encouraged to collect donations during November in anticipation of Gobble Gobble Give‘s Thanksgiving Day distribution. Quixote is coordinating pick-up and delivery of donation boxes to participating member companies. Members may also drop-off donations at any Quixote location. See complete details here: http://www.quixote.com/AICPGives/
Items may include: canned goods, boxed food (that can be consumed without cooking), new or used clothing items in good condition (socks, sweaters, beanies and more). Collecting unopened bars of soap & shampoo bottles, toothbrush and toothpaste kits, is a great way to distribute all of those hotel amenities we grab on shoots.
#AICPgives is a great chance for the AICP West members and friends to give back to the community we call home. With #AICPgives we can mobilize our numbers and the generosity of our staff and crews to give to those who could use help this Thanksgiving.
Help us spread the word: Invite people to participate through our Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/553968994619760/

About Gobble Gobble Give
It started with one person…feeding 9 homeless on Thanksgiving Day fourteen years ago.
