Every year IB schedules a “Day of Action” where all members of IB are invited to participate in a program designed to give back to their communities. This year’s national outreach program was “Stand Against Hunger Project 2022.”
As many of you know, Tom Chairs United Community’s Board of Directors, so it was the natural choice for Curcio Law to financially support and pack UC food boxes as our Day of Action contribution. We were joined by local missionaries from the Church of the Latter-Day Saints and dedicated UC volunteers. Together, we packed 106 boxes with Thanksgiving foods and fixings, such as macaroni and cheese, stuffing, mashed potatoes, rice, and gravy.
The Day of Action is always a great reminder of the many blessings that we have. Working with the missionaries and UC volunteers was a joy, and we hope our contributions helped many needy families in the Alexandria Community.
Curcio Law is excited to team up with @InjuryBoard again and donate another pair of smart video display units to help connect residents of ManorCare Health Services in Alexandria connect with their loved ones. We all recognize by now that these residents are more vulnerable to contracting COVID-19, so many of them have gone months without seeing their families. Pictured here are Tom, Rakin, and Justin with ManorCare Activities Director, Regina Pitts.
