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."
