Tyler Pipe Collects 1,988 Pounds of Food for PATH

January 20, 2015

Every year the Tyler Pipe team collects non-perishable food items for PATH (People Attempting to Help) and they try to increase the amount collected each year.  We are proud to report that they increased the amount of food collected in 2014 by 474 pounds!  The effort put forth by the entire team was extraordinary.  The outside sales team donated Walmart gift cards to buy food for the drive and local hourly and salaried team members brought in cases and cases of canned good daily to fill the crates.  It was truly a group effort.

Tyler Pipe HR Manager Faye Pettigrew said, “I’ve been fortunate enough in my life that I never had to endure hunger, however, I’m not oblivious to the fact that hunger exists in East Texas.  I can sleep well at night knowing that the Tyler Pipe team took it upon themselves to do something about hunger during the holidays and did it in a big way.”

As an added bonus, Tyler Pipe General Manager Greg Simmons wrote a check for $1.00 for every pound of food collected to PATH.  They hope PATH can fill their food pantry with the necessary items to assist families in East Texas long after the holidays.

Way to go Tyler Pipe Team!
