Members of Hunt’s West Division Team in Phoenix, AZ and their family members, once again, donated their time for the Crockett Elementary School charity day.  Every year for the past seven years, Hunt employees have donated their time on a Saturday to complete various projects around the Crockett Elementary School.

This year, the Hunt team took every item on the schools wish list and made it a reality.  Projects completed included painting of curbs and driveways, the cafeteria stage walls and bulletin boards, teachers’ lounge and the front office and hallway. Hunt would like to give a big thanks to Mark Gong of ColorCor who took care of our painting supply needs.

Hunt held their 2nd Annual Food Drive for the community of Indianapolis during this past holiday season. Employees came together and Hunt collected seven boxes of nonperishable food items for Gleaners Food Bank.

Gleaners distributes the food they collect to more than 400 charities throughout Indianapolis and the surrounding area. Gleaners was founded in 1980 and has since grown with one mission is simple and direct: To end hunger by engaging individuals and communities to provide food for people in need.

Thanks to the efforts of Hunt employees and the thousands of others who donate to Gleaners every year, the community of Indianapolis is continuing to do its part to end hunger.

Being built off State Highway 191 and Farm-to-Market Road 1788, opening of the $89 million center is expected in 2012.

State Rep. Tom Craddick was the key to pushing $99 million in tuition revenue bonds through the Legislature three years ago that funded the performing arts center and a science and technology complex at UTPB. Other contributions were made by the UT System.
