NORTHLAND SUPPORTS NAIOP’S COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY
Volunteers help provide 11,000 meals to area families in need

10.01.2008, Newton, MA - Northland Investment Corporation is pleased to announce its sponsorship and support of the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties' (NAIOP) recent Annual Community Service Day. Thirteen employees from Northland’s corporate headquarters volunteered at the Greater Boston Food Bank on September 24, 2008, sorting and packing food for area families in need.

More than 50 NAIOP members spent an afternoon sorting, lifting, and packing almost 18,000 pounds of food, allowing the Food Bank to provide more than 11,000 meals to needy families throughout the region. Each volunteer sorted an average of 261 pounds of food; Food Bank officials later said that NAIOP’s numbers were more than a third higher than average.

“Participating in NAIOP's community service day provided us with a fantastic opportunity to give back to the Greater Boston community,” said Peter Standish, Senior Vice President at Northland Investment Corporation. “Northland has long been an active supporter of a number of Boston-area organizations, and getting the chance to support the Greater Boston Food Bank through a day of hands-on work was extremely rewarding.”

Founded in 1981, the Greater Boston Food Bank is New England's largest hunger-relief organization, feeding 83,000 people each week in Eastern Massachusetts who need food assistance.
