Marcone HVAC company Munch’s Supply raised $9,716 and gathered 2,238 products for food banks in the communities it serves, according to a Marcone press release.

“The communities that we serve represent more than just a customer to Munch’s Supply,” said Steve Raimondi, market president for Illinois and Indiana. “These are our neighbors, co-workers and customers. It’s a privilege to play a small part in giving back.”

Employees and customers brought in donations of canned goods, non-perishable items, and household paper goods to each Munch’s Supply branch throughout the month of November, the company said. Customers also supported the fundraiser through donations added onto their sales, and employees purchased raffle tickets for chances to win company-branded clothing, time off, or a Target gift card.

“The holidays can be a particularly challenging time,” said Adam Slusher, market president for Michigan. “As a leader in our communities, we want to give local families a helping hand so they can enjoy their celebrations.”

The annual food drive fundraising effort is an integral part of Munch’s Supply operations. All donations are brought to food banks near each Munch’s branch.
