MIAMI LAW FIRM JOINS FORCES WITH HUNGER RELIEF GROUP
When hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf coast in September of 2005, the whole world looked on in shock. The attorneys and staff of KPKB quickly mobilized a fundraising drive which resulted in a 100% particpation rate which totaled $14,000.00. The firm chose to donate the funds to America's Second Harvest.
“I am proud of everyone at Kluger, Peretz, Kaplan and Berlin and their readiness to donate to the communities that suffered so much following Hurricane Katrina,” said Howard Berlin, Managing Director of Kluger, Peretz, Kaplan & Berlin. “As a result of our contribution, food and grocery items will continue to be distributed to those who so desperately need it.”
Since August 29th, America’s Second Harvest has dispatched nearly 1,100 truckloads filled with more than 34.3 million pounds of food and grocery products, which equates to nearly 28 million meals.
America's Second Harvest Network is the nation's largest charitable hunger-relief organization with a network of more than 200 regional member food banks and food rescue programs serving all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. It secures and distributes nearly two billion pounds of donated food and grocery products annually. America's Second Harvest supports approximately 50,000 local charitable agencies operating more than 94,000 programs, including food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, after-school programs, and Kids Cafes.
