WHY:       Hunger is a growing threat among working and unemployed
           families across the nation. What's more, the problem is
           more acute in the summer months when children don't have
           access to school-based meals.

           According to the Daily Bread Food Bank, 50% of the children
           in Palm Beach County Elementary Schools participated in
           free or reduced cost lunch programs this year.

           Office Depot's charitable mission is to directly impact the
           health, welfare and education for children, the event
           reflects the Company's commitment to making a difference
           for children in the Palm Beach community.
