Pony up for food bank, group goads businesses

2011-12-20

Founder of local networking league challenges colleagues to do a little good

Mal Eccles has thrown down the gauntlet. And, given what’s at stake, he doesn’t care one little bit about losing. 

“Go ahead, win the race,” said Eccles, a member of The Networkers. “I’m happy to see it happen.”

A bit of holiday cheer in his heart, Eccles contacted Metro over the weekend and issued a challenge to other London business-networking groups: Beat The Networkers at their own game and earn bragging rights for a year. 

Specifically, Eccles, a London mortgage broker, wants other groups to collect at least $3,000 worth of food or cash by Friday and donate the haul to the London Food Bank.  

Eccles’s group, founded in 1996, has been making a holiday donation to the food bank for the past three years. The 30 business professionals have tallied up thousands of dollars over the years. 

While Eccles’s idea comes at nearly the 11th hour of the Christmas season, he hopes the challenge can become a regular happening in the coming years. 

“This year, we take our gloves off and slap the other groups across the face,” he said. “Next year, we run a duel, so to speak.”

Eccles’s challenge to business groups comes as the London Food Bank reports record use. The non-profit helped 3,500 families in November, up from the previous all-time high of about 3,200 families set in June 2009. Before that, the record high was 2,875 families in a month. 

Food bank officials expect they’ll need all the holiday donations that come through the doors. Demand, they said, doesn’t seem to be dipping from November’s numbers. 

“Right now, in the last three weeks, we’ve been above normal,” said Donna Speller, who works in human resources at the agency. “December will be another high month.”
