May 17, 2019 — This week, our Bloomington-based employees volunteered at the new Second Harvest Heartland facility in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, where they helped assemble care packages for new mothers. Their efforts, along with other volunteers from the area that day, resulted in a total of 18,614 pounds of baby products being packaged.

Some of the baby products packaged included baby bottles, lotion, shampoo, baby wipes, pacifiers, diaper coupons and more.

The selected-volunteer location, Second Harvest Heartland, is typically the group’s volunteer location of choice because it is part of the Feeding America network. In 2011, the company entered into an official partnership with Feeding America.
