Platinum Protection, a Provo based home security company has joined hands with Community Action Services and Food Bank in Provo, Utah Food Bank in Salt Lake City along with the Cache County Food Pantry to do the honorable deed of making sure that the local food bank shelves are full during this Christmas season. The residents of Utah are being urged to come forward and donate food this week. Around four hundred representatives from Platinum Protection will perform the service of collecting them and reaching them to the local food banks between 3 pm and 7 pm.
Force Of Food Drive
The people of Utah along the Wasatch Front, Salt Lake and Cache counties are being requested to donate as many non perishable food items and toiletry supplies as they can. The Executive Director of Community Action Services and Food Bank appreciated this initiative by Platinum Security since it shows social responsibility on their part.
All due to the recent recession and limping economy, the stocks at the local food banks are rapidly dwindling. Conscious about this, Platinum Protection decided to do something about this, and hence the food drive. This will help those families who depend on the food bank for food. The food collected by the representatives of Platinum Security will be distributed and delivered to the various food banks via trailers.
Other Initiatives
In addition to their current food drive with Utah Food Banks for Charity Knock 2008, Platinum Protection has been involved in other social initiatives. In October, they donated over $20,000 to the Ryan Thompson Liver Fund to save the life of a local Utah boy who was suffering from a fatal disease and liver transplant. The family did not have the resources to handle the postoperative care costs. They had sold everything they could and were finding it difficult to manage the cost of medication from their fixed income. Platinum security came forward in their time of need. Their employees continue to contribute to the fund. Platinum also urged other organizations and individuals to step forward to help the cause. The effort to help the Thompson family is ongoing and individuals can also deposit their contribution into the Ryan Thompson Liver Fund at their local Wells Fargo Bank.
As of October 2008 this year, Platinum Protection a two-year-old alarm company has helped secure more than 55,000 homes across the US, while building a customer base of almost 90,000. Their aim is to protect homes throughout the country while growing to be among the best in the industry. Back in 2007, when Platinum security was just a year old, they had the distinction of being the first ever summer model Alarm Company that had more than 30,000 homes using their product. This has helped these homes and their residents stay safe. Platinum Protection has a good working relationship with their equipment source, GE Security - this explains their success in the security market. The company also attributes its success to its team members and its customers.
