Bag Hunger
Daniel Walters of Macy's West was the most recent winner of
Macy's national Carol Reiser/Partners in Time National
Volunteer of the Year Award. Walters was selected for leading
a variety of Partners in Time projects, giving nearly 1,000
hours for 24 projects and keeping an entire team focused
on what they can do to "give back." Walters reached out to
new charities such as the Project Angel Food AIDS services
organization and the Pasadena School District's "Families
in Transition" program. Carol Reiser Award judges also
commended finalist Greg Pugh, regional visual director
at Macy's Florida, for his outstanding service.
The Partners in Time national award, named in memory of
the program's founder, Carol Reiser, is given to the Macy's
associate who best exemplifies the Partners' mission –
"sharing time to make a difference." In addition to receiving
a Waterford crystal clock, Walters selected Project Angel
Food to receive a $1,000 donation made in his name by the Macy's
Foundation.
