EAST ALTON, Ill. — West Star Aviation recently launched a new program to aid the Community Hope Center Food Bank through its “Casual Friday” initiative. Employees who would like to wear jeans on “Casual Friday” are asked to bring a canned food item for donation to the food bank.
“We have had an overwhelming amount of participation in our “Casual Friday” program over the last couple weeks,” says Rodger Renaud, General Manager, West Star Aviation, ALN. “We have already made significant donations to the Community Hope Center in Cottage Hills, Ill., and plan to continue that support well into the future.”
West Star has placed large donation bins throughout its facilities to make it easy for employees to turn in their donations.
