For the sixth year, our Annual Giving Project rallied employees across the country to support [**Feeding America**](https://www.feedingamerica.org/)®, resulting in **more than 200,000 meals** for those facing hunger. The impact was made possible through a combination of $20,000 in employee donations and company match contributions, with more than 1,500 food and baby items collected across 11 office food drives. Every donated dollar provides at least 10 meals, and 98% of all donations go directly into the hands of those in need. ![](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Feed-the-Need_white-bkgd.jpg) [](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-09_Northfield-Delivery2-scaled.jpg) ![Northfield Office Donations](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-09_Northfield-Delivery2-scaled.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-05_Boston.jpg) ![Boston Office Food Drive](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-05_Boston.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12_13-TX-Holiday-Party-1-scaled.jpg) ![Texas Holiday Gathering & Food Drive](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12_13-TX-Holiday-Party-1-scaled.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-11-18_Tampa-Office-scaled.jpg) ![Tampa Office Food Drive](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-11-18_Tampa-Office-scaled.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Boston-Team_Feed-the-Need-scaled.jpg) ![Boston Office Food Drive](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Boston-Team_Feed-the-Need-scaled.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Bay-City-2.jpg) ![Bay City Office Holiday Gathering](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Bay-City-2.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12_13-TX-Holiday-Party-2-scaled.jpg) ![Texas Holiday Gathering & Food Drive](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12_13-TX-Holiday-Party-2-scaled.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-11_Tampa-Packup-scaled.jpg) ![Some of the Tampa team packing up donations!](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-11_Tampa-Packup-scaled.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-11_Tampa-Group-scaled.jpg) ![Tampa Office Holiday Gathering & Food Drive](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-11_Tampa-Group-scaled.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Traverse-City-Food-Drive-scaled.jpeg) ![Traverse City Office Food Drive](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Traverse-City-Food-Drive-scaled.jpeg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Ann-Arbor-Holiday-Gathering-1-scaled.jpeg) ![Ann Arbor Holiday Gathering](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Ann-Arbor-Holiday-Gathering-1-scaled.jpeg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Lombard-food-and-card-collection-1-scaled.jpg) ![Lombard-food and card collection](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Lombard-food-and-card-collection-1-scaled.jpg)[](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/detroit-holiday-scaled-e1766430846226.jpg) ![Detroit Office Holiday Gathering](https://www.ectinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/detroit-holiday-scaled-e1766430846226.jpg)In addition to supporting Feeding America’s national network of food banks, local food pantries also received donations from ECT, extending the impact to the neighborhoods where our employees live and work. This year’s Giving Project was a powerful reminder of what ECT can achieve together. From food donations to volunteer hours to direct contributions, our team showed up with heart, generosity, and a shared commitment to giving back. ECT will continue supporting Feeding America® through the holiday season. Donations are tax-deductible and will be accepted through January 5, 2026. Every gift helps provide meals to neighbors in need.
