Inside Our Non-Profit...

SUMMIT CARES: A Look Inside Our Non-Profit Collaborations (EventLA)

During this time, we have had the opportunity to be even more invested in the community. As many of our events have been canceled or postponed due to the pandemic at the last minute, we have a surplus of fresh ingredients. We saw this as a silver lining. It allows us to do what we do best – using our relationships to partner and invest in our employees and the community, while helping those who need it the most.

The humble truth is… we have been donating 10 to 15 THOUSAND pounds of food on an annual basis for over two decades! Our philosophy on abundance is not about the amount of food that we have, but how we give back. In today’s #SummitStory, we explore four recent and wonderful collaborations Summit has had with EventLA, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, St. Joseph’s Hospital, and LOT318.

EventLA: Supporting Our Small Business Workforce

EventLA is dedicated to the Special Event and Entertainment Industry, a workforce community that has been drastically impacted by COVID-19. By driving fundraising efforts, distributing resources, and providing opportunities, EventLA is helping those who have lost their jobs gain positivity during these hard and challenging times.

As Summit is deeply grounded in this community, we partnered with EventLA and are even featured on their “generous vendors” list. We carefully prepared and donated 2400 fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. Together and with the help of other vendors’ donations, we helped create grocery kits to give to those in need.

 

Together, we are better!
