Cassling Goes Pound for Pound With Weight Loss Incentive
939 Pounds of Food Donated to Omaha Food Bank
Omaha, Neb. (July 22, 2008) - Cassling launched an incentive earlier this year to encourage employees and their families to reach and maintain a healthy weight, while giving them the opportunity to give back to the community. The Fight Against Hunger: Pound for Pound incentive joins these two efforts.
Starting in February, employees brought in one pound of non-perishable food to represent each pound of weight lost. Employees and their families have lost 651 pounds to date.
On Friday, July 11, Cassling made its first donation of 939 pounds of food to the Omaha Food Bank. The total number represents food donations made by employees and a pound for pound match made by the company.
Approximately 365 pounds of food remains in Cassling’s lobby to help keep weight loss top of mind for employees. The company will make an additional food donation in September, when the remainder of the non-perishable items will be delivered to the Omaha Food Bank. The incentive will continue through the end of the year.
