Good start for the New Year
Thanks to all the great NetEffects team members, we have been able to help the St. Louis Food Bank, 100 Neediest Cases, ECH Every Childs Hope, and Toys for Tots in 2010 alone.

A big wow and thanks is deserved for all NetEffects employees and consultants, we were able to help some great charities throughout 2010. Most recently in December, we were able to help the Food Bank of St. Louis, Toys for Tots, and 100 Neediest Cases.
With everyone’s generous donations and Jack Bader matching all funds up to 750 dollars we were able to donate 1,510.60 dollars and 50 additional cans of food to the St. Louis Food Bank. This donation translates into about 6,050 meals for needy families. Combined with the food drive we had at the NetEffects company picnic in June we donated over 6,234 meals this year to the St. Louis Food Bank.
Keeping with the spirit of the holiday season, it was decided this year in lieu of exchanging any gifts at the NetEffects office; we would adopt two families from 100 Neediest Cases.

With everyone’s help, both families received clothing, various requested household items, toys, and gift cards. For days the office was filled with wrapped presents ready and waiting to be delivered to the deserving families.
Not to be forgotten, a few members of our sales team collected toys donated from almost everyone in the office for Toys for Tots and were able to donate a carload of new and gently used toys. It was great to see the toys pile up everyday.
Due to everyone’s amazing contributions, we hope that we as a company were able to make 2010 a little brighter for all those we were able to help.
