San Diego, CA, July 11, 2015. WICR Waterproofing & Decking’s founder and CEO, Fred Wanke, was honored to join other members of the Community Associations Institute (CAI) San Diego Chapter to work a full shift at Feeding America San Diego.  The Feeding America network is the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. The San Diego center currently serves 59,000 children, families and seniors in need each week.

Each day, thousands of pounds of donated food must be checked for freshness, sorted, packaged and distributed to food banks and families. WICR Waterproofing & Decking was proud to be part of the volunteer shift, and looks forward to donating more time and resources to this effort.
