Res•COM Raises $65,000 for the Salvation Army

TULARE, Calif. – Res•COM Pest Control held its annual Christmas party fundraiser at the Heritage Complex on Dec. 14, 2006 in Tulare, Calif. Funds raised by the gathering were donated to the Tulare Salvation Army.

What started out as a company Christmas party six years ago has turned into a community outreach. More than 500 residents, including 90 Res•COM employees attended the party in support of the worthwhile cause of helping the less fortunate. A suggested donation of $10 allowed access to the festivities, which included a food, refreshments, a live auction and a visit from Santa. The fundraiser raised $65,000 — the most money raised by the annual party thus far.

Res•COMis one of many companies and individuals who regularly help the Salvation Army aid Tulare County’s underprivileged children. The Tulare Salvation Army uses donated funds to make Christmas gift boxes for children full of shoes, jackets, toys and food baskets for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
