Emerson, NJ - MRC Cares, the philanthropic arm of MRC Medical Communications, has announced the selection of three organizations as its designated charities for 2012. The selected charities are: Feeding America; Give Kids the World and Boys Town. Simultaneously and independently, MRC Medical has launched an initiative to raise awareness of those in need with its "End Hunger" campaign.

Charities Worthy of Recommendation 

"In designating these charities we are stating that we have looked at the work they are doing - and we feel they are deserving of both our support and recommendations," said MRC Medical President, Dave Rector. "We think it is especially important to actively support charitable causes now, many of which are feeling increased pressure in the current economic climate," he added.

Each of these organizations was selected based on its mission, as well as its financial track record. MRC Medical relied in part on the research and third-party ratings supplied by Charity Navigator. America's premier independent charity evaluator, Charity Navigator works to advance a more efficient and responsive philanthropic marketplace by evaluating the financial health of over 5,400 of America's largest charities.

End Hunger Campaign Part of Awareness Initiative

In addition to financial contributions during the course of the year, MRC Medical will help increase awareness about the selected organizations through both coordinated and its own independent efforts. This year's independent "End Hunger" public awareness campaign includes downloadable art work available to anyone wishing to help the company raise awareness of the burden hunger places on millions of Americans today.

Rector urged other companies to follow suit. "If every small and mid-size company actively spread the word about the worthy causes they believe in, then many of these charities would be significantly helped toward their goals."
