Tennant Company (NYSE: TNC), a world-leading innovator of sustainable cleaning solutions, is deploying more than 325 employee volunteers into the City of Los Angeles as part of its third annual “Tennant Gives Back” initiative held in conjunction with the company’s annual Global Sales Meeting.

On Wednesday, Jan. 30 ^th, from 1:15 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. PT, approximately 325 Tennant employees will work to: assemble 1,000 food packs with approximately 10 pounds of food each for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank to send home with children over the weekend; assemble 900 hygiene kits, including cold-weather wear, for the Los Angeles Mission; assemble 50 bikes to donate to the YMCA Ketchum-Downtown LA Branch and present the bikes (with helmets and bike locks) directly to the kids in the Growing Young Minds (GYM) program at Hoover Elementary, their local school.

"We believe strongly at Tennant that we can make a positive difference through our individual actions and, collectively, as good corporate stewards by helping people and the communities in which we do business,” said Andy Eckert, Tennant Company's VP, Americas. “We’re happy to leverage our global sales meeting, with Tennant employees from around the world, by coming together to be of service to others.”

Eckert will lead the team of employees working with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank; Tennant President and CEO Chris Killingstad will lead bike assembly for the YMCA; and Rusty Zay, VP of Global Marketing at Tennant, will champion the effort with the Los Angeles Mission.
