Anticimex Carolinas brands back local food banks with summer drive

Anticimex Carolinas and its brands, including Killingsworth Environmental, Clark’s Termite & Pest Control and Strand Termite & Pest Control, donated food and supplies to organizations across the Carolinas this summer. The effort aimed to help fill the gap left when school meal programs pause during the break.

Why it matters: - Summer can leave children and families without access to school meals. - Local food banks and community groups often see higher need during that gap. - The donations add food and supplies to multiple support networks across the Carolinas.

What happened: - Anticimex Carolinas and its family of brands organized a summer food drive. - Employees from Killingsworth Environmental, Clark’s Termite & Pest Control and Strand Termite & Pest Control donated food and essential supplies. - The effort supported food banks and community organizations serving families throughout the Carolinas. - Bryan Cummings, president of Anticimex Carolinas, said the donations were about helping families and children get through the summer months.

The details: - The team donated 492 pounds of food to Food for Families in Charlotte. - The team donated 443 pounds of food to Lowcountry Food Bank. - The team donated 56 canned goods, 32 pantry items and cases of water to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. - The team donated 262 pounds of food to Harvest Hope in Columbia, South Carolina. - The team donated 30 servings to Loaves & Fishes. - The company said the drive reflects a broader commitment to community involvement alongside pest control services. - More information is available through Killingsworth Environmental, Clark’s Termite & Pest Control, and Strand Termite & Pest Control.

Between the lines: - The drive targets a predictable seasonal pressure point, when schools close and meal access can shrink for children. - Spreading donations across several food banks suggests a regional approach rather than a single-site charity effort. - The effort also reinforces local-brand visibility in communities where the company already operates.

What's next: - Anticimex Carolinas said its family of brands will continue community involvement. - The company signaled that future efforts will remain tied to the communities where employees live and work. - The brands plan to keep pairing service operations with local support efforts.
