In March, the CCI/Speer Ammunition, Community, & Engagement (ACE) Team worked with The Idaho Foodbank to help raise money for families in need in Idaho.
This was the second year CCI/Speer participated in the Idaho Foodbank's Million Meals in March Campaign. The foodbank requested monetary donations instead of food items because they are able to stretch the dollars to four complete meals from every dollar donated.
The Centerfire, Rimfire, Primer, and Support Value Streams worked together to raise as much money as they could in March. To up the ante, every dollar donated was entered as a "ticket" in a raffle, and the winner of the raffle chose a member of leadership to do their job for at least three hours on an agreed upon date. One winner was chosen from each Value Stream.
In total, $2,330 was raised by the plant for the Million Meals in March campaign, and Operations included an extra $1,000 donation to make the grand total $3,330. This donation created over 13,000 meals for families in need.
Top fundraisers this year were Primer Assembly Swing and Weekend Swing shifts with donations of over $750 per shift.
Great job, teams!
