DENSO Sales California employees today participated in the company's 15th annual "Thanksgiving Food Basket Drive."

Employees formed "shopping teams" and went to local grocery stores to purchase food for Thanksgiving meals for Long Beach families in need.  Each basket contained a turkey and other essential items to prepare a Thanksgiving meal.

The event was part of "DENSO Community Service Day" where each of the more than 200 DENSO companies worldwide organizes an activity to give back to their local community.

DENSO employees presented the 44 Thanksgiving meal baskets to Christian Outreach In Action, which distributed the baskets to families throughout the city.

 "DENSO makes several contributions to the community, American Red Cross, American Cancer Society, and this is just one example.  Our associates are always willing to help out," said Richard Shiozaki, senior vice president at DENSO Sales California.

Established in 1971 as the first overseas affiliate of the DENSO Corporation, DENSO Sales California is an automotive components sales and distribution company that employs 280 people in Long Beach.
