Gift will help feed the hungry in the Quad Cities
Modern Woodmen of America's top field managers recently donated $5,000 to Quad City-area food pantries. The food pantry at The Center, Davenport, and River Bend Food Bank, Moline, each received $2,500.
The donation included nearly $2,500 collected during Modern Woodmen's Leadership Career Institute, which brought more than 100 of Modern Woodmen managers from across the country to the Quad Cities in early August. The donation was matched by Modern Woodmen.
"Giving back is an important part of what these managers do across the country, so they also wanted to make a difference here," says Steve Van Speybroeck, fraternal director at Modern Woodmen. "These donations to local food pantries can fight hunger and help local families."
As a tax-exempt fraternal benefit society, Modern Woodmen sells life insurance, annuity and investment* products not to benefit stockholders but to improve quality of life for our members, their families and their communities. This is accomplished through social, charitable and volunteer activities. Annually, Modern Woodmen and its members provide more than $26 million and 1 million volunteer hours for community projects nationwide.
