Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS proudly collected 10,947 pounds of food for the 2010 Student Hunger Drive Corporate Challenge and earned the prize for the Most Creative Company at the annual Clucky awards.
“I am so proud of our company’s participation in such a wonderful community organization,” said Caroline Ruhl, President of Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS. “There was quite the competition between our offices this year, which really pushed our donations to the next level.”
Each of the Ruhl&Ruhl offices that participated, including Bettendorf, Clinton, Corporate, Davenport and Moline, had unique events to get the donations collected, such as penny wars and potlucks.
It was a record setting year for the organization, collecting 77,432 pounds of food for the River Bend Foodbank in the corporate challenge. The Student Food Drive is an effort conducted by area high school students to collect and donate food to the River Bend Foodbank. The Foodbank serves over 300 charitable feeding programs throughout a 22 county service area. This year, the Quad-City Times received the overall prize by collecting 13,144 total pounds of food.
