Earlier this month, Envoy\u2019s Culture, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee (CDIAC) and the Women of Envoy (WE) joined efforts to continue supporting a DFW Metroplex school, Summit Leadership Academy (SLA), through a Thanksgiving food drive.<\/p>\n
After a successful school supply drive in August, where CDIAC members delivered 17 boxes full of the teachers\u2019 most requested items to the SLA faculty before their first day of school, volunteers from WE decided to join in with the efforts for another round of donations, this time making support during the upcoming holiday season a priority.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe holidays are always such a busy time, and can add a lot of stress on people for various reasons,\u201d said Envoy Vice President of Human Resources & Employment Counsel, Chanen Lively<\/strong>, who also serves as a WE and CDIAC executive sponsor and co-chair. \u201cThese students and their families shouldn\u2019t have to worry about where their Thanksgiving meal is coming from, so we were excited to bring our teams together to package up these holiday meal kits for them to take home.\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019re thankful for the generous food donations from DFW and EHQ-based Envoy employees, the CDIAC and WE team members who volunteered their time, and the team at SLA for allowing us the opportunity to show our support!<\/p>\n
