Foxtrot 1/2K – American Cancer Society 2023

The 2023 Foxtrot 1/2K was a huge success! They raised over 12K for the American Cancer Society.  This amazing group of companies and people came together to help support SafeNet Consulting‘s yearly event. So much fun, an outstanding and moving speech from Tanner (thank you for sharing your inspirational story), photo booth, 1/2K race, silent auction, food truck, an awesome DJ and more! Thank you, Safenet Consulting for letting us help support this great event!  Looking forward to next year!

Feed My Starving Children (Madelyn)

What a wonderful experience!  Madelyn had the opportunity to volunteer at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) and contribute to a meaningful cause. Packing meals for children in need is a valuable way to make a positive impact on their lives.

“It’s amazing to think about the number of meals I and my station packed in just one session. 720 meals is a significant number, and knowing that each meal can make a difference in a child’s well-being is truly heartwarming. The fact that the stations were able to pack so many boxes of meals shows the collective effort and dedication of the volunteers involved.

Madelyn is planning to continue volunteering in the future. The FMSC motto, “Love more & Do more,” embodies the spirit of selflessness and compassion that drives their mission.

Hope Lodge Meal

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.

Employee Holiday Meal

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. 

2nd Harvest Heartland 2022

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.

Toys For Tots 2022

We did it again! Midwest Staffing and KeyStaff Professionals participated in the 2022 “Toys for Tots Campaign”.  We decided to put a goal in place, to collect more than 500 toys this year.  Our 8 branch offices worked together, with some friendly competition, to gather as many toys as we could.  On the final collection day, we slid in with 579 toys, collected and ready to be dropped off at the local collection site.  Putting big smiles on children’s faces Christmas morning makes us so happy!!

Shoe Away Hunger Program

Shoe Away Hunger offers affordable quality footwear for those in need.  In addition, it helps to raise the important dollars we need to continue feeding over 7,500 people each month through our Food Programs and services.  This amazing program offers a simple and meaningful way for you to join with us as we work together to eliminate local hunger “one sole at a time”.

During this really fun and rewarding event our volunteers sorted new and used shoes that are donated to this organization. They are sold for next to nothing to churches and organizations. The money they raise goes to their food shelf. What a wonderful opportunity and a big difference you have made to many!

My Very Own Bed

Midwest Staffing and Keystaff Professionals are honored to have volunteered and assisted My Very Own Bed – Providing new beds to kids in need!

Our teams designed and assembled beautiful dream kits for each bed. Once completed, we helped deliver beds and the dream kits to children that were in need of beds in our local community. It was an incredible experience and very heartfelt. We especially loved seeing the kids light when they received a bed where they can enjoy sleep and personal space. Our teams are already looking forward to the next time we volunteer for this amazing non-profit organization founded by Michael J. Allen.

The Bernard Group Golf Open

Midwest Staffing participated in The Bernard Group’s annual Charity Golf Tournament.  This year the proceeds will go to Open Hands Foundation, PROP Food Shelf, and Haven Housing.  The tournament brought 142 golfers together and raised over $76K for the chosen charities.  Not only were we able to contribute to these great causes, but it gave us a chance to connect with others who care about helping people.
