"Once again, our customers and employees demonstrated generosity
in supporting our neighbors in need, which is vital to the
prosperity of our communities," said Mary
Jo Moehle, Charter's Vice President, Communications. "Food
pantries provide a valuable service in our communities; not only
during the holidays, but year-round as well."
The campaign included an opportunity for participants to receive
Charter On Demand movie coupons for multiple food item donations,
as well as prizes via Charter's online site. "We were thrilled with
the participation this year from both Charter employees and
customers, as the amount of food collected more than doubled last
year's total," Ms. Moehle said.
Charter also recently concluded its successful On Demand Soldier
Greetings offering, providing holiday video greetings from local
U.S. military personnel stationed overseas on demand to Charter
customers in each state from which the soldiers hail. Charter
reported receiving more than 3,300 on demand views from customers
during the campaign.
