Digitalsmiths Teams With Non-Profit to Fight Holiday Hunger

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Nov. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Digitalsmiths, the innovative multi-screen media analysis, operations and publishing technology provider, partnered with local hunger relief organization Inter-Faith Food Shuttle (IFFS) to provide groceries to senior citizens and low-income families in need during the Holiday Season.

The partnership kicked off Saturday, November 21, when Digitalsmiths staffers packed bags of groceries at IFFS headquarters and personally delivered them to local families.

Digitalsmiths will also participate in an ongoing hunger relief effort through "Backpack Buddies," an IFFS food drive that provides backpacks filled with child-friendly, nutritious food for local schoolchildren to take with them over the weekends and during holiday breaks.

"Giving back to the community is a core value for Digitalsmiths, and I am moved by our team's eagerness to help Inter-Faith Food Shuttle do such necessary work," said Ben Weinberger, CEO, Digitalsmiths. "We are honored to be a part of this initiative and look forward to doing our part this holiday season."

For twenty years, the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle has been retrieving nutritious food from donors and putting it into the hands of hungry people across the Greater Triangle area. The organization repurposes perishable foods that would otherwise end up in landfills. IFFS has eleven trucks that cover a seven-county area, picking up and redistributing wholesome items that are donated because of recent outdating, over-purchasing and/or minimal damage.
