Published:2013-12-23 State
Over 650 Meals to Local Food Banks Christmas and the spirit of the holidays are centered on giving to help others. Secured Investment Corp and members of its family of companies including Cogo Capital and Lake City Servicing collected over 1,600 pounds of non-perishable food items. Some 1,400 pounds of food was collected at Secured Investment Corp’s corporate headquarters in Coeur d’Alene. Another 200 pounds was collected at the Spokane Cogo Capital – The Private Money Company’s location. The food donations were made by the employees of Secured Investment Corp, Cogo Capital (Spokane & Coeur d’Alene offices) and Lake City Servicing. The items collected at the Coeur d’Alene office where donated to the Community Action Partnership and the items gathered at the Spokane office were provided to 2nd Harvest of Spokane. Doug DeWolf with the Coeur d’Alene Community Action Partnership shared, “Secured Investment Corp and their team really came through. The donations picked up from their Cd’A location weighted in at 1443 pounds! This amount of food will provide between 600-650 meals in our community. We are truly grateful to them for their support of those in our community.” The food drive was orchestrated by Laurie Jaeger, Secured Investment Corp’s Director of Human Resources. She attributes the competitive nature of the company’s departments who worked to best each other in collecting the most donations. Mrs. Jaeger commented, “I cannot begin to express my gratitude to all who contributed. Sharing is one of the biggest gifts you can give to others, while still keeping it as a gift to yourself. It is the gift of charity and service to others, especially those less fortunate, which will be rewarded in eternity.” This is another example of the great companies who call the Inland Northwest their home and how they help their communities.
