Ameriprise Financial advisors, employees and clients recently came together to help feed Radford-area families.
Organized by Keith Weltens and Mark Tapp, 14 people volunteered at the Radford-Fairlawn Daily Bread preparing meals, sorting the stock room, and cleaning the facility. This effort was focused on helping the 42 million people, including 13 million children and more than five million seniors, who struggle with hunger in the U.S.
The event is part of the semiannual national days of service arranged by Ameriprise in partnership with Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization. On June 16, 3,700 Ameriprise financial advisors, employees and clients spent the day participating in over 200 volunteer events across the country.
