Novell Giving Program Bolsters Community Living OREM, Utah -- February 14, 1996 -- Novell, Inc. and its employees are reaching out to improve the quality of life in communities where employees live and work. In the recently completed annual food drive, the company and employees donated a total of 460,000 meals to local food banks across the country, and in the first-ever company-matched employee giving campaign, employees designated pledges of more than $104,000 to address local issues such as homelessness, domestic abuse, education, environmental causes and animal protection. "Novell employees care deeply about the overall health of their communities," said Bob Frankenberg, Chairman and CEO. "As a company, Novell shares this employee concern and is committed to making a positive difference, especially in the areas of critical community needs, education and cultural arts." To help charitable organizations communicate with each other to deliver their services more efficiently, Novell granted nearly $2 million in new networking and business application software to organizations such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, World Wildlife Fund, Foundation for Educational Innovation, The Tech Museum of Innovation, Community Nursing Services and the United Way. In addition to software, Novell donated more than $560,000 in cash to organizations such as the San Jose Education Network, Junior Achievement, Make-a Wish Foundation, San Jose Repertory Theatre Company, Sundance Children's Theatre and Ballet West. This year, the Chicago Sales Office took first place in the Novell food drive Corporate Challenge by contributing 487 meals per employee to the Chicago Food Depository, which provides food to most area food banks. "Under the enthusiastic leadership of sales support representative Cathy Krewer, and with the participation of everyone in the office, we continue to increase contributions to the Depository year after year," said Chuck Meister, Novell Region Director. "The entire Chicago team proudly supports Novell's nationwide effort to help our local communities."
