MCMINNVILLE, OR, December 31, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- December brings holiday traditions and marks the beginning of the season of giving. With so many people suffering from hunger, poverty, and illness in Yamhill County, Rachel Karl wanted to make a difference. Owner of the full-service marketing agency Suite 4 in downtown McMinnville, Karl created a company Social Responsibility Program. One of the Program's aims is to support the community and those less fortunate through volunteer activities, fundraising efforts, and donations.
With the official launch of Suite 4's Social Responsibility Program at their annual Holiday Party in December, attendees and team members alike came together to help the community. Between the ~70 partygoers and the Suite 4 team, 50 toys for Aden's Toy Drive and 107 food items for Yamhill Community Action Partnership (YCAP) were collected, in addition to more than $100 in cash donations. Donors were entered into a raffle, for which items were donated by local businesses: Willamette Valley Vineyards, The Oak, R. Stuart, Twist Salon, Flag + Wire, Naked Winery, The Vortex, Boersma's, Jack of All Beads, Pura Vida, Inner Oasis, and Suite 4.
YCAP has served residents of Yamhill County since 1980 and each month distributes resources to anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 food insecure individuals and families in Yamhill County. Aden's Toy Drive was founded 3 years ago to celebrate the life of Aden Monagon. His sister Courtney founded Aden's Toy Drive to ensure no child ever feels alone when faced with hospitalization. Toys are distributed to multiple organizations, like the See Ya Later Foundation and Doernbechers Children's Hospital, to bring joy to children all over Yamhill County.
With renewed determination to help those in need, Suite 4 is working to better the community, one volunteer activity at a time. Each month, Karl and her employees volunteer at McMinnville Cooperative Ministries, Meals on Wheels, Oregon Food Bank, the See Ya Later Foundation, and others. "Being able to give back to to community keeps us humble and appreciative, and while it's important that we are supportive now during the holidays, we know how vital it is that our support is felt all throughout the year. That's a large reason I created the Social Responsibility Program for Suite 4." Suite 4 plans to assist the community all year long, knowing the value of giving back and helping others.
