Since 2013, the Yardi Cleveland office has hosted an annual food drive called the \u201cFight Hunger Games\u201d as part of the Greater Cleveland Food Bank\u2019s Harvest for Hunger.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Harvest for Hunger is a collaborative effort covering services in six counties. Food collected and funds raised make it possible to provide nutritious meals to local residents in need. For those struggling to make ends meet, the burden of hunger can be a difficult distraction at all times of year \u2013 not just the Thanksgiving to Christmas season, when much attention is focused on food charities.<\/p>\n

Hardworking families and seniors on fixed incomes across Northeast Ohio face tough choices \u2013 put food on the table or pay for other basic essentials such as medicine, utilities or transportation. One in five children in the greater Cleveland area is food insecure. \u00a0Yardi\u2019s Cleveland office knew they could help make a difference through the Fight Hunger Games.<\/p>\n

The rules of the Games are thus: Yardi-Cleveland employees are divided into Team Districts.\u00a0 The teams collect food and supplies. One representative from each team is selected (or appointed as some of them have experienced) to participate in the Hunger Games.<\/p>\n

Points are awarded to the winners of the games. Points are also added to the teams according to the number of donations the team has collected. Award ribbons are presented to the top three teams.<\/p>\n

There \u00a0a snack system to collect money to purchase donations for the Greater Cleveland Food Bank. Snacks are available at each suite. They are purchased by hungry Yardi employees and all profits are used to purchase items to be donated to the Food Bank.<\/p>\n

Friendly competitions for the Hunger Games included tower building with cans of food, a guessing game to promote office name retention, ball toss, rock\/paper\/scissors, and five in ten trivia. This year\u2019s question was \u201cWhat are the names of the five states that surround Ohio?\u201d<\/p>\n
