Teleperformance and Feed the Children Partner to Distribute Backpacks, Food, Resources to Families Across U.S. for Back to School
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, August 1, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Teleperformance USA, a division of global digital business services company Teleperformance, is working with leading anti-hunger organization Feed the Children to provide children with backpacks filled with school supplies, personal care items and snacks to help in the new school year. Teleperformance volunteers and the nonprofit will build and deliver more than 1,000 backpacks to children across the U.S in communities where Teleperformance works.
Volunteers from Teleperformance USA distribute resources to families.
Each backpack will provide a child with a variety of supplies such as notebooks, folders, glue sticks, crayons, pens and pencils. They will also be given daily essentials and to help with personal hygiene.
With the cost of supplies steadily increasing, many families struggle to send their children to school with the proper materials needed to learn and grow in the classroom.
"For 17 years, our partnership with Feed the Children has been a powerful example of Teleperformance USA's commitment to uplifting communities where our team members live and work," said Scott Barli, Chief Operating Officer for Teleperformance USA. "This success wouldn't be possible without the dedication of our incredible employees. They've been instrumental in supporting Feed the Children's mission, ensuring students and families receive the vital resources they need. It's a true testament to the power of teamwork in making a positive impact."
Teleperformance and Feed the Children have planned multiple events across the country with local partners to help provide families with food and essentials, as well as help offset the cost of school supplies. Together, they will deliver backpacks to eight communities:
Bristol, Tenn. - Virginia Primary / Virginia Intermediate
Brownsville, Texas - Egly Elementary
El Paso, Texas - Mission Valley Elementary
McAllen, Texas - Aida C. Escobar
North Lauderdale, Fla. - Morrow Elementary
Port St. Lucie, Fla. - Hope Center for Autism
Additionally, Teleperformance and Feed the Children are partnering for four Resource Rallies serving 1,600 families across the country later this year. At each of these events, local families will receive a 25-pound box of shelf-stable food, a 15-pound box of household essentials and additional items.
Resource Rallies will be held in:
Brownsville, Texas
El Paso, Texas
McAllen, Texas
North Lauderdale, Fla.
"The Teleperformance partnership means so very much to Feed the Children, and more importantly, to the families we serve," said Travis Arnold, president and CEO, Feed the Children. "Those living paycheck-to-paycheck often do not have a safety net. Our partners are a critical part of providing compassionate support to those who are facing tough decisions about how to care for their families."
