Basking Ridge, N.J.-based Viking Pest Control, an Anticimex company, recently participated in Beasley Media’s WJRZ “Share the Joy” charity event.

In a news release, the Basking Ridge, N.J.-based company noted that it is dedicated “to ensuring a healthy and safe living environment extends beyond its primary business of managing and controlling pests. By actively engaging in community initiatives, Viking Pest aims to improve the well-being of communities and enhance the overall quality of life.”

The charity event, aptly named “Share the Joy,” aligned with Viking Pest Control’s commitment to putting communities first. Through a team effort, the company collected a truckload of donations, showcasing the generosity and compassion of its team members. Every branch and administrative team contributed, and even remote workers participated by donating cash, which was used to purchase additional food items.

“Our annual food drive is a source of immense pride for our company,” Eric Gunner, Viking’s business development manager, said in the news release. “Witnessing the dedication and enthusiasm of our team members as they come together to support those in need is truly heartwarming. Their generosity has made this donation possible, and we are incredibly grateful for their contributions. We are delighted to have taken part in WJRZ’s Share the Joy event this year.”
