Some of the 3,000-plus nonperishable goods WIKA USA employees collected during the 2020 Annual Food Drive<\/p><\/div>\n \n

Greater Atlanta\u2019s unemployment rate<\/a> is roughly double that of a year ago, making food security an even larger issue than before. In the amidst of all the chaos that has defined 2020, WIKA USA employees were determined \u2013 more than ever \u2013 to hold their annual food drive.<\/p>\n

Once again, the Quality Department issued a challenge to see which division could donate the most canned and packaged food items. And like last year<\/a>, Quality was the undisputed winner.<\/p>\n

We are grateful to all who who participated and gave so generously. Thanks to everyone\u2019s efforts, WIKA USA was able to donate over 3,000 nonperishable food items to the Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry<\/a>, an organization whose vision is a hunger-free community.<\/p>\n
