“We are very excited to be able to support the Old Town Community Food Drive. It’s organizations, like this one, that help keep our communities going and provide help for families in need. At Brookfield, we know the importance of investing in the communities where we live and work. It is truly an honor to give back to a group that does so much already,” said Todd Wynn, Brookfield’s Vice President of Operations.

Old Town Community Food Drive organizers are making plans to realize the most impact possible for the community with this donation.

“We started this food drive four years ago to make a difference in our community. This donation is the largest we have received, and the impact that it will make in our community is unbelievable! I commend the Brookfield decision makers on their commitment to give back to the communities that they operate in,” said Travis Roy, founder and co-chair of the Old Town Community Food Drive.
