33 Employees, 11 Competing Teams Battle in Grocery Cart Races At Cherry Creek
Safeway to Fill Each Cart with $200 Worth of Food


DENVER--(Business Wire)--
Early morning risers may not recognize their local Safeway grocery store when
Land Title`s 11 teams of 33 employees race across 1st Ave. with festooned
grocery carts to buy much needed items for Food Bank of the Rockies at 6:00
a.m., Fri., Oct. 9. 

"As part of our commitment to our "Buy Local-Give Back" initiative, Land Title`s
statewide Food Drive begins Oct. 12 to Dec. 11. Front Range donations will
benefit Food Bank of the Rockies, and our other Colorado offices will support
seven other Colorado food banks," said John Freyer, President, Land Title
(www.ltgc.com). 

In the ground level east parking lot, 3033 E. 1st Ave., Land Title teams will
have minutes to decorate their shopping carts, race across 1st Ave., and compete
in a 5-minute shopping spree in the Cherry Creek Safeway at 1st Ave. and Steele
St. for Food Bank of the Rockies. Land Title`s donation of $200 of spending
power per team equates to a one-day donation of over $2,000. 

Safeway Foundation is contributing $1,000 to Food Bank of the Rockies and
Safeway will provide free coffee and doughnuts for the bleary-eyed public who
are invited to attend and make contributions. 

Kevin Seggelke, President of Food Bank of the Rockies, reports that need is at
an all-time high. Partner agencies are experiencing an average of 30% increase
in people looking for food assistance. Every $1 donated equates to 4 meals or
over 5 pounds of food. He said contributions on Oct. 9th will provide over 9,000
meals. 

"Community involvement is our corporate culture. In the past 10 years, Land
Title and its principals have donated time and resources to more than 1,500
charities and events. Our statewide food drive presents this side of our culture
to the community and we`re partnering with our clients to make a difference,"
Freyer added. 

Food drop boxes are at Land Title offices statewide and locations are found at
www.ltgc.com or by calling (303) 331-1880.
