Can one, can all! The Minnesota Employee Relocation Council (MERC) decided to give back during this year’s Fall Education Event at Bauhaus Brew Labs on October 8. With the help of our partners at Altair Global, MERC collected non-perishable food donations and showed off their creativity by constructing buildings out of the cans and boxes they received.
In just under five hours, MERC collected 240 pounds of food, which is enough to provide 200 meals!
Our good friends over at Beltmann Relocation Group of Minneapolis lent a helping hand, as they volunteered to pick up all of the donations and bring them over to Second Harvest Heartland West. Since joining our network, this Beltmann branch has delivered nearly 124,000 pounds of food to their local food banks. The teamwork everyone displayed to make this food drive a success really make us so proud!
More than 504,000 people in Minnesota are facing hunger, including 1 in 8 children. We are so thankful for events like they help raise awareness about the problem and also provide immediate assistance to people who are struggling. Thank you to those at MERC, Altair Global and Beltmann Relocation Group, for dedicating your time and doing your part.
