30 PIM Young Professionals Went to Feed My Starving Children on November 17, 2022

Next YP Event is at Topgolf on March 2, 2022, click here for more info

Almost 30 PIM Young Professionals (YP) volunteered by packing food for Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) on November 17, 2022 at their Coon Rapids location. Together the group packed 124 boxes of food, which makes 26,784 meals that will feed 73 children for an entire year! There were about 70 packagers total which means we assisted in two boxes per packer. The normal range is one box, so once again, printers know how to package efficiently and maximize their volunteer experience! Thank you to YP’s from LB Carlson, Lindenmeyr Munroe, NCCO, & SeaChange for your hard work! Thank you to the YP Sponsors for your support – Canon Solutions America, CARDSource, EO Johnson/Standard Dynamics, Gravie, Kodak and Lindenmeyr Munroe.
