SCHEER PARTNERS GIVES BACK TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, HOSTS 1st-ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE

Gaithersburg, MD (May 20, 2014) – Rockville, Md.-based Scheer Partners, the leading provider of fully integrated commercial real estate services in the Washington and Baltimore metropolitan areas, announced today that it recently hosted a food drive that helped raise more than $1,500 in donations for the Manna Food Center in Gaithersburg, Md.



This initiative was part of Scheer Partners’ community outreach campaign, bringing people together to address human needs and transform lives in Montgomery County.



“Struggling families turn to Manna for food throughout the year and not just in the winter months. Food drives in the spring and summer have a big impact, because our inventory is lower during that time of year. Community support such as the Scheer Partners food drive help us meet demand throughout the year,” says Mark Foraker, Manna Food Center’s Director of Development.



Adds Yvonne Mirowski, Director of Marketing and Operations for Scheer Partners, “Thank you to everyone who donated non-perishable food and monetary contributions for the Scheer Partners 1st-Annual Food Drive. Because of your donations, there will be fewer Montgomery County families going to bed hungry. We sincerely appreciate all of your generosity.”
