BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Eldorado Trading Company raised thousands of dollars with its 15th annual Thanksgiving fundraising campaign, which collected donations of food and money for Community Food Share, a Colorado nonprofit that provides food to hundreds of local families and senior citizens in need.

Eldorado employees contributed $1,647, which was matched by Eldorado CEO Wanda Garland for a total donation of $3,284.

Eldorado’s donation will help to stock Community Food Share’s mobile pantry truck, providing enough food to feed 200 families for a week.

“One in 10 Coloradans worry about where their next meal will come from,” explained a rep. “The annual Community Food Share drive is a cherished Eldorado initiative. Every dollar donated to Community Food Share helps provide $5 worth of groceries.”

Garland called the annual drive one of her favorite Eldorado traditions.

“It provides the opportunity for us to serve our neighbors,” she said, adding that community partnership and education “helps to bring awareness to the ongoing challenges of food insecurity.”
