Eliot Management Group Collects for Food Banks Nationwide
Salt Lake City, Utah, Monday, November 20, 2006

Salt Lake City, Utah, November 20 – Eliot Management Group is proud to launch their annual Holiday Food Drive, supporting community food banks nationwide during the holiday season. Through December 20th, each of EMG’s 22 offices will collect non-perishable food items from employees and companies in their area for donation at local food collection centers. In 2005, EMG set a goal for the company to collect at least 1,000 pounds of food for the needy; EMG offices collectively donated over 2,900 pounds of food. They hope to surpass that total in 2006.

Welby Evangelista, Executive VP, states: “Eliot Management Group has always strived to be a positive contributor to our communities, and our Holiday Food Drive has become a centerpiece of this effort.  In 2006, we hope to eclipse the amount of food we donated to area food banks in 2005.  EMG employees, friends, family, and clients are encouraged to participate in the contribution effort; our goal to help raise awareness of the needs in our communities and encourage the support for those who are less fortunate throughout the year.”
