Beginning in October and continuing through Christmas, Monitronics participated in multiple charitable projects in 2011.
Our holiday season kicked off with the annual food drive to support MetroCrest Foodbank. The event always sparks competition within the company and proves fruitful for our cause. In 2011, employees donated over $10,000 in food and cash.
The employees pitched in to provide gifts for children through the MetroCrest Foodbank. Throughout the first half of December, teams within Monitronics “adopted” grade levels. Each team worked hard to bring in as many toys as possible for their children. The company donated an additional $2,000 to support the foodbank.
Students from Notre Dame School, a local school for children with mental disabilities, made their annual visit to Monitronics on December 15. When they arrived, the children were greeted by their “Buddy” for the day. They toured the departments that were decked out in the holiday theme chosen by the Holiday Committee. The tour concluded with a catered lunch, carolers, and a final meeting with Santa where the kids received gifts based on their Santa List. During the catered lunch, Monitronics presented local charities with donations:
Al Leisikow from Little Elm Food Bank with Mary Jensby from Monitronics
- Each of the 81 patients from a local nursing was given a Christmas gift.

The Little Elm Food Bank received a check for $2,000. 2011 was Monitronics’ fourth year supporting the food bank.

Monitronics donated $2,000 to Irving Cares, Inc., an organization which helps the needy in their community.
- And, The North Texas Food Bank received a check for $2,000 to help distribute food to thirteen North Texas counties.
