Pulte helps feed hungry
PulteGroup’s West Florida division has partnered with Feeding Tampa Bay to help ease the hunger problem in the community. Recently, 30 members of the Pulte team spent several hours putting together enough meals to feed 2,700 people from the Tampa Bay area, according to a news release.
“It has always been a top priority for us to give back to the community in which we live and work,” Sean Strickler, president of Pulte’s West Florida division, said in the release. “We support the mission of Feeding Tampa Bay and look forward to a continued partnership that helps support those in our community who are in need.”
The Pulte team created food packages that included nonperishable items like oatmeal, tuna, and pasta, plus canned fruits and vegetables.
Each year, Pulte’s West Florida division participates in multiple charitable activities. In 2017, they received the Corporate Philanthropy Award from the Tampa Bay Business Journal, which honors companies that have committed unwavering support to nonprofit organizations by donating time, energy and resources.
