Operation Backpack

This week, we want to give a big shout out to Ronda Mithun and the entire Social Team of AllpakTrojan for the amazing work they have done with “Operation Backpack”.  For the past month, they have successfully collected numerous backpacks and stocked them with school supplies for kids in need, so that they can start the school year prepared.  

Planning this charity effort began back in the beginning of summer.  In addition to collecting donations, Rhonda and the Social Team put together a raffle for AllpakTrojan staff in order to raise funds for the supplies.  Seahawks tickets, jerseys and other fan items were put in the raffle.  These efforts allowed over 70 backpacks and countless notebooks, pens, folders etc. to be purchased and donated to the Salvation Army of Renton.

These contributions are part of the giving spirit inherent here at AllpakTrojan.  Not only does it bring employees together, but helps the surrounding community.  It is especially impressive considering that these activities are done in addition to their usual work load.
