2.3 million children die each year from hunger-related illness – nearly 9,000 children a day. So when we heard about a local Feed My Starving Children operation in Eagan, MN, Renodis employees jumped at the opportunity to help out.
In July, twelve Renodis volunteers worked with 82 other volunteers from around the Twin Cities to pack and box 32,616 meals.
Here Kathy and Aida are getting supplies ready to start packing meals.
Once things kicked off, Caysha starts working the bag machine.
Marty and Ted add the vitamins and vegetables.
Then Jesse weights the final product.
Praba, Paul and Brian load pallets for shipping.
Sue counting the bagged meals – 36 per box!
In the weeks leading up to volunteering with Feed My Starving Children, Renodis employees worked to raised funds for the cause which were also matched by the company.
Renodis volunteers had such a great time – we are definitely looking forward to our next volunteering time with Feed My Starving Children!
