Urgent Food Bank Message! This has just come in from Food Bank Director Lee Kimball: if you or someone you know works for PG&E, you could give an incredible gift to the Food Bank this year.
Please read on for more information.
On November 19, 2008, Pacific Gas and Electric Company announced a one-time corporate match program for all donations made to food banks located in the PG&E service territory. The company will match employees’ donations, up to $100 per employee, to any food bank listed in the attached. PG&E has set aside a total of $100,000 in matching funds for the program. The company’s match will be available for donations made through January 31, 2009, and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. PG&E plans to distribute donations to individual food banks by February 28, 2009.
Employees will use www.aidmatrix.org/pge to make either credit card or check donations. Please visit the website as there will be real-time totals of employee contributions and break-outs of donations to each individual food bank.
PG&E compiled the list of eligible food banks in our service area from the California Food Bank Association membership list. If this communication has reached you in error, please let us know immediately.
PG&E hopes that each food bank will encourage PG&E employees who are volunteers or frequent donors to donate through this special program. In addition, feel free to publicize this program in any communications, such as newsletters, that your food bank distributes so that we can all make this a successful drive.
If you have any questions about this program, please contact Larry Goldzband, Manager of Charitable Contributions, at (415) 973-0898.

Of course that charity wouldn't feed local kids, but I hear what you are saying.
I have a beef with PGE, but when I think of hungry kids I forgot the greater evil.
Maybe its a ploy to fatten them up so they can feed the children to the harpie executives that live off human blood .
SRC -- I understand the "hungry kids" angle, but wanna bet Pacific Graft and Extortion spends far more fighting the Rancho Cordova lawsuits (note plural) then they ever donate to this cause?
