Aggregate Industries Donates to Table of Plenty in Chelmsford

Aggregate Industries is a local Asphalt, Paving and Crushed stone supplier, but this past month the company and its employees additionally wanted to focus on how to help their community during this pandemic. Identifying food insecurity as a challenging issue, they went to work. Vice President and General Manager, Bob Andersson, grew up in Chelmsford, and when he heard about Table of Plenty, he knew that his company could help to provide funding and groceries for this organization that serves a free weekly meal every Tuesday, as well as a bag of groceries to each car that comes through their Grab N Go.

The Aggregate team at the Chelmsford plant ran a food drive at work and collected a huge truckload of food which they delivered to Table of Plenty last Tuesday morning. Every Tuesday, from 9:00 am – noon at the Chelmsford Senior Center, Table of Plenty volunteers accept donations of food such as pasta and sauce, peanut butter and jelly, cereal, canned soups and vegetables, canned fruit, rice, tuna fish, snacks, mac and cheese, and more. They sort and package up the donations which are given out, along with the meals, on Tuesdays from 5:00 – 6:00 pm.

Aggregate Industries wanted to make a monetary donation as well. Going the extra mile, the team decided to reach out to their business partners to see if they wanted to participate. In total, Aggregate Industries and its business partners generously donated over $19,000 to Table of Plenty in Chelmsford to help to continue to offer meals and groceries to those in need!
