This July, members of the UV team participated in Tango Tab’s “Feed the City” event @Bottledblondetx in Deep Ellum. The morning was filled with fun, fellowship, and some serious sandwich making!
With a background of upbeat dance music, the UV team, along with over a hundred of our neighbors, prepared sandwiches and lunch fixings for people in need. As we danced our way through the morning, in less than 2 hours, the group had made over 2,500 meals which were then delivered and distributed to people within a 5-mile radius. We agreed it was an excellent way to kick off the weekend and help others in an immediate, tangible way.
Public “Feed the City” events take place each weekend in the Dallas-Fort Worth area; however, private events can also be arranged for corporate groups any day of the week. Ask Ultimate Ventures about setting up a “Feed the City” event or other engaging CSR Team-building event for your group!
About Every Month Matters
In 2008, Ultimate Ventures created an internal CSR program, Every Month Matters, to measure our success not only by delivering fabulous client meetings and events, but also by serving the Dallas-Fort Worth community. Each month, our team takes time to focus on what truly matters – helping others. We select a local charity with a goal of fulfilling one or more of their needs. Since the launch of this program, the destination management team at Ultimate Ventures has participated in well over 100 projects/charities to enrich our community.One Response to “Every Month Matters – Feed the City”

I learned that sometimes people don”t want a handout but actually just a way to help themselves. I”ve stopped giving to charity and starting lending money via Kiva.org. I prefer it because 1) It”s sustainable. You get your capital back and can help the next person, and 2) you”re helping people develop businesses that will support the growth of their local economy. Charity can be inefficient with sometimes as little as 9% of your money actually going to the those in need and 91% going to admin costs. With services like Kiva, more like 80% of your money goes directly to the person seeking it. Not saying all charities are bad, just the more I learned the more I realized it”s often not the best way to help people.
