Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick LLP Supports Campaign Against Summer Hunger

The Sarasota Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick LLP office is proud to be a Premiere Partner in the Campaign Against Summer Hunger.

The firm, in conjunction with several local charities, is committed to the campaign, led by All Faiths Food Bank, to assist an estimated 21,000 Sarasota County students (50%) that are on free and reduced lunch.  “It is our pleasure to help support this important cause,” said Ben Hanan, Managing Partner of the Sarasota Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick office. “During the summer, when school is out, many of our community’s students, their siblings and their families may go without regular meals. We are proud to join this effort to make a difference in those families’ lives,” said Hanan.

The firm has committed $2000 to the campaign, and has launched its own matching dollars campaign.  Shumaker will match each employee’s individual donation amount up to $50.
