McCormick Company is celebrating 20 years in business and held a great event yesterday to not only enjoy this milestone but assist a good cause at the same time. Thanks to Janell Aust for the information and photo.
McCormick Company teamed up with clients, suppliers, local businesses and employees on Thursday, August 27, to celebrate 20 years of McCormick operating in Kansas City. In conjunction with the celebration, McCormick hosted a food drive with the goal of 20,000 cans for the local Harvesters food bank. That goal was met and exceeded with 27,045 cans for Harvesters.
“There’s really no better way to celebrate being a part of the Kansas City community,” said Mark Perrin, President of McCormick Company. “We get to help families in Kansas City by teaming up with local businesses and companies to reach our goal. We’re very pleased with the successful outcome.”
In addition to the charity food drive, guests enjoyed live music by Retro Inferno, food from Gates Bar-B-Q and beverages provided by local companies. Riverside RED X helped coordinate food donations made prior to the event and assisted McCormick in delivering food supplies.
