Feds Feed Families 2019

SEC Gives Even More Than 110 Percent

SEC Feds Feed Families - 39 Tons of Groceries to Local Food Banks

SEC colleagues often say of one another's work ethic that they give 110 percent, whether it's working on a rulemaking, enforcement measure, or other action to help protect investors, promote capital formation, or otherwise support our markets.

Heading into the final week of the Feds Feed Families 2019 campaign at the SEC, the agency was more than 37,000 pounds shy of a 70,000-pound goal set when the six-week food drive began. Yet once again, SEC staff rose to the occasion and gave 110 percent ... and then some.

Fun Facts


  • Our Chicago Regional Office collected a whopping 5,600 pounds in the opening week and paced the agency from there, finishing with the largest total weight for the campaign at 19,465.
  • The Fort Worth Regional Office accumulated more than 10,000 pounds in the final week to finish second in total pounds and third in pounds-per-person. 
  • The Office of Human Resources noticed that National Peanut Day happened to fall during the final week of the campaign, so they encouraged their staff to donate large jars of peanut butter to commemorate the occasion.
  • Nine offices exceeded 1,000 pounds collected in the final week alone.
  • Sixteen offices exceeded 1,000 pounds collected for the campaign.
  • The agencywide average was just over 18 pounds per person.
     

By the time the last item of food was dropped into the dozens of collection boxes seen around the agency, SEC employees had donated more than 78,000 pounds of food to help the hungry at food banks in Washington D.C. and throughout the country. That total mathematically computes to 111.64 percent of the agency's goal.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this year's campaign a smashing success, putting 65,117 meals on the table for our neighbors. Cheers to giving hunger the boot.
