Mobilizing More than Technology, The Optomi Team of Charlotte Serves the Mobile Pantry of Second Harvest Food Bank on November 5th

November 3, 2015 - As an IT staffing firm, the employees of Optomi typically spend their day recruiting and selling its services, but not Thursday. During its annual Opt2give Day November 5th, the Optomi Charlotte team will be serving Second Harvest Food Bank's Mobile Pantry Program. The Mobile Pantry is dedicated to providing families of children attending Berryhill the opportunity to shop for food items for free!

By the end of 2015, IT staffing firm Optomi will have fed over 1,500 children in the U.S. who would otherwise go to bed hungry every day. Meals given to these children total over 9,000. Optomi's fresh approach to philanthropy connects all the elements of the brand by not only defining it, but also propelling it to record-breaking revenues. Dedication to its people and the communities in which they live/work are central to the mission of Optomi.

The IT staffing firm believes that a culture of "doing the right thing" is good business. The company chooses to use its business as a driver for charitable contributions. "The message is simple, when you do business with Optomi, you help children in need", says CEO Michael Winwood.

The company makes an impact on the hunger crisis in the U.S. several ways. Optomi's Opt2give program provides children with weekend bags of food through local food bank backpack programs. With each consultant hired, kids who may not have food in the fridge when they get home from school are fed because of Optomi's efforts. During its annual Opt2give day, November 5th, all of the company's employees spend the day serving organizations in their communities. They host pizza parties for under- resourced children, serve in soup kitchens, feed and mentor at risk inner-city kids, collect food for local food banks and more. The company has instituted additional charity initiatives on a quarterly basis as well. "Giving back is at the core of why we do what we do. As an organization in an industry focused on people, Optomi believes in investing in people's lives", commented Todd Black, COO.
