Renodis volunteers at Second Harvest Heartland

A group of Renodis volunteers recently spent an afternoon helping to pack food at Second Harvest Heartland’s headquarters located in St Paul, MN.  Second Harvest Heartland is the Upper Midwest’s largest hunger relief organization.

With the great organization and process of volunteer coordinators at Second Harvest Heartland, in a mere 4 hours Renodis volunteers were able to pack 850 boxes which means 24,650 pounds of food, 17 pallets, over 12 tons, or 20,542 meals for seniors!
