“We can't imagine how it would feel to choose between paying for a hotel or feeding yourselves and children,” Bane Staffing President Sarah Bane-Martinez told this news outlet this morning. “Since we are in the HR business, we love people, and since we can't really roof, build or cut trees, we are able to provide warm meals and drinks and help in other ways.”

“There are so many volunteers, companies and families that the last thing they are thinking about is feeding themselves, so to help keep them fueled to keep working and keep energy for their families and children, that's where we come in.”
