Bates White launches community connection program:
Kicks off Bread for the City drive
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 6, 2004—Bates White, a national economics
consulting firm, launched a formal company-wide volunteer program,
kicking it off with a drive for Bread for the City, a D.C.-based
organization that supports residents of Washington, D.C. Known
as "BW Community Connection," Bates White’s program
provides a forum and structure to support community needs, employees’
interests, and business alliances.
To help Bread for the City, Bates White employees collected needed
clothing and food. As part of the drive, Bates White also donated
a desperately needed computer. In addition, employees helped sort
clothing donations at Bread for the City’s NW center.
George A. Jones, executive director of Bread for the City, said,
"We are thankful for the wonderful work of Bates White employees.
Bread for the City helps thousands of people each and every month
with food, clothing, medical care, legal advice, and social services,
and we absolutely could not do this without the help from our
partners like Bates White. We are particularly appreciative of
the computer since we do not have the funds to purchase the equipment
we need."
"I am proud of our employees for supporting Bread for the
City," said Dr. Charles E. Bates, president and founder of
Bates White. "With the launch of the BW Community Connection
program, we are able to expand our commitment to the community
and support our employees’ interests."
