StarTek in Collinsville has wrapped up an employee food drive, benefiting the Community Storehouse Hunger Elimination Project. This two-week drive was the largest to ever benefit the Community Storehouse since its opening in 2001.

StarTek offered its over 700 employees incentives to donate, and the response was tremendous. Canned goods and cereal numbered over a thousand items. "Our warehouse hasn't been this stocked in years," said Nancy Nelson, Executive Director of the Community Storehouse; "It couldn't have come at a better time," she added.

The Community Storehouse has seen their new client averages double over the past three months and are projected to tripple by the beginning of the year.

"I'd like to thank all the employees of StarTek for all their work; a special thanks is due to Katie Muehleck, Professional Recruiter who worked with me in organizing this event," said Travis Adkins, Assistant Executive Director of the Community Storehouse.
