HUB International New England Employees Stage Food Drive

EAST LONGMEADOW — HUB International New England, formerly FieldEddy Insurance, a division of insurance-brokerage firm HUB International Limited, announced that employees recently held a food drive to benefit the East Longmeadow Council on Aging.

The drive was staged in response to published reports that the local Council on Aging is in dire need of food and personal items this time of year. HUB International employees immediately reached out and pulled together in an effort to personally donate whatever they could.

“I always knew our employees were great, but seeing them come together to help others leaves a lasting impression,” said Timm Marini, president of HUB International New England. “The employees saw a problem in their own backyard and reached into their own pockets in order to help those less fortunate. They worked together as a team in order to do something that will have a long-term effect on others.”

The total amount of donations is not known at this time, and the agency itself will make a contribution in addition to the employee donations. These items were delivered to the East Longmeadow Council on Aging on Aug. 26.
