  • Every so often, we like to step out of our headquarters and help the community of Dane County. Yesterday, our team volunteered at The River Food Pantry. We were pleased to see the impact of the #BigJoeForklifts "The Joey" on their operations. However, it was even more rewarding to connect with the community as a team and lend a hand where we could. A huge shoutout to the regular volunteers, who were exceptional and demonstrated immense passion and hard work. While we often focus on #materialhandling and #warehousesolutions, this experience broadened our perspective on the importance of supporting our community. Thank you for having us; it was an honor, and we look forward to returning. For your reference, here are some of the fantastic things The River Food Pantry has accomplished for the community in 2024 alone: *18,777 people served in Dane County a total of 330,833 times *7,997 households served *2,471 new families served *3.4 million pounds of food distributed *1.8 million pounds of food recovered *126,042 to-go-meals distributed *59,301 mobile meals delivered *3122 grocery deliveries *1,762 online orders *833 after-hours food bags *47 redistribution partners *2,905 volunteers *41,210 volunteer hours Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gB_x8-Qk
