Letter: Ameriprise invests in community by volunteering

To the community,

Every year in November, Ameriprise Financial advisors and employees participate in national days of service in partnership with Feeding America. This effort centers on helping the 49 million Americans, including 16 million children and 5.3 million seniors who face hunger in the United States.

On Nov. 9, the South Lake Tahoe Ameriprise Financial Services Inc. office sponsored a Bread & Broth Adopt A Day of Nourishment organized by Rick Gross, to join this nationwide effort to feed the hungry.

“We feel honored to help,” said Gross.  “We would like to thank Bread & Broth for the opportunity to give back to the South Lake Tahoe community.”

B&B would like to thank Ameriprise Financial Services for the contribution of $250 which fed over 100 dinner guests and helped provide giveaway bags filled with fruit, vegetables, dairy products, canned goods and breads/pastries.

Gross, a private wealth advisor, was joined by his Ameriprise Financial team members Melinda Gross, business development manager; Terry Hickey, financial advisor; and Liz Palmer, client service manager. These four sponsor crew volunteers are to be applauded for taking the opportunity to help people in need by giving their time and effort to support Feeding America and Bread & Broth’s goal of easing hunger for those in need.
