ALTA ONE Attendees Raise Nearly $2K for Food Bank

Attendees at ALTA ONE in Scottsdale, Ariz., raised nearly $2,000 for St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance.

During the unveiling of ALTA ONE—the association’s new live-event experience—attendees received $1 bills. Pointing to the words “E Pluribus Unum” on the dollar bill, ALTA CEO Michelle Korsmo said that as a group the industry is strong and as one united association “we stand tall and resilient, and most importantly, we succeed when and because we work together.”

She continued by saying that others can benefit as well by the title industry coming together as ONE.

“Many of you have favorite charities where you spend your time and your money. Giving to food banks is one way to make a big different in a person’s life,” Korsmo said.

With more than 1,100 attendees (which sets an all-time record for ALTA meetings), a total of $1,902 was donated. The donation will help the food bank provide 13,314 meals for individuals and families struggling with hunger during the holidays and beyond.  Kerri Cole, corporate giving officer at St. Mary’s, thanked ALTA and its members for the support.

As the world’s first food bank, St. Mary’s Food Bank partners with nearly 500 agencies to distribute 250,000 meals to individuals and families every day.
