Posted on November 16, 2012 by SARAH MURPHY In October 2012, the Coalition launched the Corporate and Law Firm Sponsorship Campaign benefiting the Grand Central Food Program. During Hurricane Sandy and in the immediate aftermath, the Grand Central Food Program and all of the Coalition’s programs and advocacy were fully engaged in providing ongoing services and relief to storm victims and the thousands of homeless men, women and children who rely on us. We therefore delayed the beginning of the second round of sponsorships to mid-November. And so we now get to express our deep gratitude to Proskauer Rose, Troutman Sanders and Lane Office for each sponsoring a van from today through the end of December. As many nonprofits are being forced to cut services because of severe budget cuts, we are incredibly thankful to those companies and firms who have joined in this critical campaign to keep our vans on the road, distributing warm, nutritious meals night after night to the city’s most vulnerable – even in the worst of weather. You will be able to see the logos of our wonderful sponsors on the sides of our vans as they make their way around city distributing meals, so keep an eye out for them! Proskauer Rose is sponsoring the Uptown van. Troutman Sanders is sponsoring the Downtown van. Lane Office is sponsoring the Bronx van. If your company or law firm is interested in sponsoring a van, please contact us at development@cfthomeless.org.
