Converged Technology Professionals Sponsors Local Food Pantry Fundraiser Event

Converged Technology Professionals, Inc. is a proud sponsor of the annual Algonquin Lake in the Hills Food Pantry Golf Fundraiser being held on September 1, 2017. 

The Algonquin Lake in the Hills Food Pantry exists as a non-profit organization that works with local churches and other volunteer organizations to provide temporary food for families and individuals, whom they call clients, who are in need.  

Each year an end of summer golf fundraiser event is held to raise money for the local charity.  Since 2006, the gulf outing has raised over $97,000, all of which is 100% donated to the food pantry.

Clients range from those who are unemployed or underemployed, those with disabilities, homeless, as well as the elderly and children.  Through fundraisers such as the annual golfing outing, along with contributions from residents and community businesses have helped local residents who are struggling be able to put food on their shelves. 

Frequently those such as the elderly or those with disabilities that do not have adequate income often are forced to choose between purchasing food or required medication.   The Food Pantry enables their clients to receive the assistance needed to avoid those situations.  

The funds raised from the sponsored event goes towards paying expenses needed to keep the Pantry operational.  Volunteers help the Pantry year-round with stocking shelves, collecting and sorting food items, paperwork, and assisting clients while making their food selections.  

To qualify to become a client, a pre-approval and self-assessment form must be completed, submitted and reviewed.
