Dermody Properties, a national private equity real estate investment, development and management company focused exclusively on the logistics real estate sector, has announced the recipients of its annual Dermody Properties Thanksgiving Capstone Award. The Food Bank of Northern Nevada (FBNN) will receive $25,000 to assist in their efforts during the holiday season.
Every year, senior management at Dermody Properties selects the recipients for the annual Thanksgiving Capstone Award with the overall goal of helping non-profit organizations address the increased need experienced during the holidays. This year, Michael C. Dermody, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Doug Lanning, Chief Financial Officer, have specifically designated FBNN as a recipient.
FBNN is a non-profit organization and a member of Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, focused on providing emergency food services to families throughout northern Nevada and the eastern slope of the Sierra in California. Through a network of more than 145 partner agencies and direct service programs, they serve more than 91,000 people per month.
This year’s Capstone Award will fund the FBNN’s school food pantry program. During the 2019 Fiscal Year, FBNN opened four new school pantries and now has a total of 32 school pantries. Through school food pantries in Washoe County, FBNN has assisted more than 3,800 students and their families with access to healthy food.
Last fiscal year, FBNN provided more than 18.2 million meals. In addition, the organization offers resources and long-term solutions through SNAP Outreach and their Bridges to a Thriving Nevada program, as well as nutrition education. Interested parties can help further the work of the FBNN by volunteering or donating at fbnn.org.
“Every year, the Thanksgiving Capstone Award brings our company, our executive team and the community together to help those organizations who are truly making an impact in the lives of people – especially children and seniors,” said Dermody. “At Dermody Properties, this award has become a tradition where we do our part to help ensure the communities in which we do business have the resources they need. We are pleased to continue our support of the Food Bank of Northern Nevada and recognize their efforts from this past year to fight hunger and food insecurity among our most vulnerable populations.”
The Dermody Properties Annual Thanksgiving Capstone Award is uniquely directed each year by the executive management committee of Dermody Properties, which includes Chairman and CEO Michael C. Dermody; President Douglas A. Kiersey, Jr.; Chief Financial Officer Douglas Lanning; Chief Investment Officer Timothy Walsh; Chief Capital Officer Kathleen Briscoe; and Chief Operating Officer Elizabeth Kauchak.
Dermody Properties has selected six additional recipient organizations and will award $5,000 to BrainUp in Frankfort, Ill., $5,000 to Operation Finally Home in Dallas, Texas, $5,000 to the NJ Sharing Network in New Providence, N.J., $5,000 to the Sonoma County Resilience Fund in Santa Rosa, Calif., $3,500 to the California Fire Foundation in Sacramento, Calif., and $1,500 to the International Association of Fire Fighters Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery in Upper Marlboro, Md.
