EncoreConnect and Silver Lining

We have often talked about whether or not we could/should ever work together, professionally. Well, after 13 years, our work worlds have finally collided. EncoreConnect, one the programs Eunice runs at Aspiranet has been contracted by Appirio, Ryan's cloud computing company, to provide outsourced volunteer coordination for Appirio's community engagement initiative, cleverly called "Silver Lining."

The first Silver Lining event that EncoreConnect helped plan was a food sort at Second Harvest Food Bank in San Carlos. A team of 25 Appirians sorted and boxed nearly 7,000 pounds of food (or approximately 5,500 meals) in two hours. That's a LOT of food! It's going to be fun helping Appirio do more good in the days ahead.
