MAC Cosmetics Volunteers Complete Island Trees Food Drive

We can always count on MAC Cosmetics volunteers to help us out when we need it! They responded to our call for help and unpacked the 1,500 bags of breakfast food donated from the Island Trees School District breakfast food drive. They unpacked mountains of bagged food, sorted and re-stocked pantry shelves, and filled grocery bags to the brim with nourishing food for future distribution. In a few short hours our
Nutrition Education & Food Serv
ices
food pantry was ready to feed people living with HIV/AIDS. Thank you, MAC Cosmetics volunteers!
