The Food Group

Volunteering to Fight Hunger, One Meal at a Time

We were proud to spend the day volunteering with The Food Group, a Minnesota nonprofit helping to provide equitable access to nutritious food. Led by our incredible host, Lonny, our team helped package 5,740 meals—each one headed to Minnesotans living in rural, suburban and urban communities

This effort comes at a critical time. Last year, Minnesotans made nearly 9 million visits to food shelves—an all-time high and a sobering reminder of the growing food insecurity in our state.

To Lonny and the entire team at The Food Group: thank you for leading the way and inviting us to participate. We’re grateful for the opportunity to help.

Celebrating Earth Day with Hands-On Action 🌍🌱

This Earth Day, our team rolled up their sleeves and got a little dirty—on purpose! Employees from our Eden Prairie office came together for a pond-side clean-up just outside our corporate HQ. From hauling trash to clearing brush, we left the area cleaner, greener, and buzzing with good energy. It’s one small way we’re giving back to the planet we all share—and having a little fun while we’re at it.

In Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Our offices will be closed on Monday, January 20, 2025, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As individuals, as colleagues and as a company, we are grateful to be able to take time to reflect upon the civil rights giants who have propelled our nation forward. The below are clips we pulled from a documentary found in the Library of Congress’ online archives. It features footage from the “Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom,” a civil rights demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial held on May 17, 1957 – which was co-chaired by Dr. King.

We invite you to watch the entire 1957 film for its historic value, but we have also taken the liberty of pulling out two key highlights: a brief speech about the pilgrimage, a lesser known speech by Dr. King that was delivered six years before his famous “I have a dream” speech, as well as a moving performance by renowned gospel singer Mahalia Jackson.
