In December, we partnered with White Castle to hold food drives at 16 restaurants in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area! Non-perishable food and monetary donations were collected at the registers. Any customer who made a donation received a free 21 oz. beverage!
In Forest Lake, the crew collected 80 lbs. of food, which is enough to provide 66 meals. The team not only collected the donations but also personally delivered the boxes to Family Pathways Food Shelf.
The Hinkley location gathered 80 lbs. of food, which is approximately 66 meals. The donations were delivered by the crew to the local food bank, Family Pathways Food Shelf-Sandstone.
White Castle of Oak Park Heights, donate 50 lbs. of food which equals 40 meals. Daymakers Moving and Storage provided the donation boxes and delivered the donations to the River Falls Community Food Pantry.
In Inner Grove Heights, the location collectively received 84 lbs. of canned goods, which can produce 70 meals. Alexanders Mobility Services of Minneapolis, an Atlas agent, joined the locations efforts by providing and transporting the donations to the non-profit social agency, Neighbors, Inc.
White Castles in Maple Grove and Brooklyn Park each gathered 75 lbs. of food, which translates to 60 meals. Donations were delivered by Right Choice Movers to Second Harvest Heartland West.
Collectively Blaine, Bloomington, Coon Rapids, Hopkins, Minneapolis, and three St. Paul locations accumulated 1,430 lbs. of donations, which equals 1,200 meals that will benefit families in need within the area! Beltmann Relocation Group of St. Paul assisted with each of these events by providing and delivering the donation boxes to Second Harvest Heartland Food Bank.
At the conclusion of the incredibly successful food drive, more than 1,500 lbs. of food was donated by the White Castles in the region, which will provide 1,300 meals to families who are facing hunger in the Twin Cities area. Nearly 460,000 people in the region are food insecure, including 1 in 7 children.
Thank you to all 16 participating White Castle locations, Daymakers Moving and Storage, Alexander Mobility Services, Right Choice Movers, Beltmann Relocation Group, and all those who contributed to the drive!
