DISH Employees Feed Families across America

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Last month, DISH employees nationwide joined together to help Americans
facing food insecurity. More than 130 DISH office locations in 35 states
collected food donations to support hungry families in their
communities. In total, DISH employees donated close to 30,000 pounds of
food, or 25,000 meals, to people in need.

“Hunger knows no season and one in seven Coloradans struggle with food
insecurity. Coordinated drives at companies like DISH help us to feed
our hungry neighbors year-round,” said Kevin Seggelke, President and CEO
of Food
Bank of the Rockies in Denver. “We’ve also received tremendous
support from DISH employees who regularly volunteer at our warehouse to
sort and pack donations.”

DISH sites, ranging in size from just a few employees to a few thousand,
filled bins with soup, pasta, baby food, cereal and other non-perishable
goods to donate to their local food banks. A site in Bremerton, WA with
only 19 technicians donated almost 50 pounds per employee. A call center
in Thornton, CO collected 3,410 pounds of food. In Michigan, DISH
employees donated more than 5,000 bottles of water to support
communities affected by the water crisis.

“This effort demonstrated the collective power of employees supporting a
common cause, and I am impressed by the level of participation in every
area of the business,” said Mike McClaskey, executive vice president and
chief human resources officer. “It is inspiring to see that so many
offices contributed to their communities, and that the impact we made
together extended across the United States.”

This initiative is part of our corporate citizenship program, DISH Cares.
