Eldorado Champions Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive

BROOMFIELD, CO – (11-28-18) – Eldorado Trading Company, the award-winning distributor of adult toys, lingerie, and party supplies, coordinated their annual Thanksgiving fundraising campaign to collect food and money donations for the Community Food Share, a local Colorado nonprofit which provides food to hundreds of local families and senior citizens in need.

Through the guidance of a Food Share Committee, Eldorado employees collected over $2000 and approximately 400 pounds of food in their yearly effort to support the charity’s mission to eliminate hunger.

Since every dollar donated provides 3 meals and every pound of food equals one meal donated, Eldorado’s various initiatives delivered a total of 6400 meals to help feed the hungry and food insecure. One in eight Americans are food insecure, meaning they lack consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members.

Eldorado collected food donations both in the office and at numerous local businesses. Employees also hosted multiple on-site events, like a bake sale, chili cook-off, a snack-vending cart, and a sample merchandise sale in order to raise funds. Laurie Fehler, Eldorado Human Resource Manager and chair of the Food Share Committee, is proud of how well the Eldorado employees worked together to address the needs in the local community. Fehler states, “It’s wonderful how much enthusiasm everyone has as they rally together to support an incredible organization like the Community Food Share.”

This is Eldorado’s 10th year coordinating donations to the Community Food Share, a bittersweet milestone for the company. Wanda Garland, Eldorado Chief Executive Officer shares, “this company-wide effort was started by Eldorado founder, Larry Garland over a decade ago. We are thrilled to continue his tradition of community philanthropy.”

Eldorado continue to be the premier international wholesale distributor committed to the adult retailers’ success. Their distinct inventory selection boasts over 19,000 products, including an unparalleled lingerie selection. Eldorado delivers exceptional customer service, same-day shipping, educational resources, and fulfillment services to elevate your business.
