HEART OF MIDWEST

For our Quarter 3 event of 2023, we partnered with Michael Allen’s foundation, “My Very Own Bed.” His organization focuses on assisting the local community by envisioning, “All children should have a bed so they can sleep well, dream, and find comfort in a place of their own.” In doing so, Michael and his team has provided a bed and linen to over 5,000 kids in our community. This year, Midwest Staffing and family has partnered with this organization by volunteering in their bed delivery event and assisting in making

Midwest Staffing & KeyStaff Professionals not only had the opportunity to sponsor this great event! The annual MDI Ability Bash event celebrates the achievements and abilities of people with disabilities while raising funds to support MDI’s mission to serve people with disabilities by offering employment opportunities and services. The evening included a dessert dash, vacation raffle, games with prizes, auctions, dinner, as well as an engaging program.  This year’s event was funded MDI’s Unified Work program, which helps people with disabilities and other barriers develop valuable soft skills and become more workforce ready.

Teams from Midwest Staffing and KeyStaff Professionals were fortunate enough to come together to bring and prepare a meal for the patients staying at the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge in Minneapolis.  We loved the opportunity to connect with some of the patients and hear their courageous stories.  It was a heartwarming evening of sharing and team bonding! We were humbled by the experience and so grateful for organizations like the American Cancer Society who help bring hope to so many.

We loved seeing the faces of our employees who received one of the holiday meals last year. It was one of the most rewarding ways to give back.  A handful of our most dedicated and hardworking employees were given a holiday meal to share with their family this season.  We chose to present them with gift cards this year so that they can choose their meals. Just another way Midwest Staffing and Keystaff Professionals can bring joy and spread holiday cheer. 

Our team had so much fun volunteering at 2nd Harvest Heartland last year, that we did it again!  A group of us got together and spent another evening packaging boxes of food.  We partnered with others in the community to prepare 757 boxes of food.  Each of these boxes contained nearly 30 meals for someone in our community.   This truly is one of our favorite ways to volunteer our time to help others.  https://www.2harvest.org/second-harvest-heartland-local-minnesota-wisconsin-food-bank
