In support of Trideum’s Feeding 5000 initiative, the Trideum Foundation recently presented donations to Unity in the Community (Leavenworth, Kansas) and Project Concern (Atchison, Kansas).
Unity in the Community is a non-profit that participates in monthly community meals that feed any member of the community. They also host a yearly Thanksgiving meal where members of the community come and share a meal and fellowship for the holiday. Unity in the Community supports the less fortunate members of the community by serving meals at events like National Go Skateboarding Day, community awareness events, and Christmas events to supply both food and gifts to children in need.
Project Concern provides meals to people of all ages with limited mobility as well as serving Meals on Wheels to those age 60 and over. They are located in Atchison, Kansas but also serve Effingham, Kansas.
About the Feeding 5000 Initiative:
In 2020, when COVID hit, the Trideum Foundation initiated a drive to help organizations providing food to those most affected by the crisis. “Feeding 5000” refers to the Biblical story of Jesus feeding 5000 people with just 5 loaves of bread and two fish. As a small company and foundation, the needs of our communities can seem overwhelming, but we believed that we could take our limited resources and make an oversized difference by working together and supporting organizations making an impact. The program donated nearly $100,000 worth of grants in its first three years and has continued to flourish.
Anyone can support Feeding 5000. Donations are taken directly through the Trideum Foundation website. Employees have the option of a one-time donation or ongoing payroll deduction. All donations to the Trideum Foundation are tax deductible, however, payroll deductions are taken after tax.
