Land O'Lakes Retirees clock countless hours as Store To Door Volunteers!

Being a company that has the same interest in nutrition and food as Store To Door, it is no wonder that we were able to find a few WONDERFUL volunteers that are Land O'Lakes retirees!
Together, Arvada and Cyrilla, two friends who shop at the St. Paul Cub Foods store, have volunteered over 3200 hours EACH with Store To Door! Since 1993, they have been shopping for our customers' orders diligently, welcoming new volunteers as they joined the St. Paul shopping team, and bringing enthusiasm and humor every Friday to the store.
"They always do the best they can," says Jay, the Store Coordinator.

"We really enjoy shopping together, we've built such a close-knit team at the St. Paul store." shared Arvada. "We are also so happy that Land O'Lakes provides Dollars for Doers. They donate $250 to Store TO Door each year for the time we spend volunteering, Between the two of us, that's $500 a year we are able to raise for Store To Door!"

Thank you Arvada and Cyrilla for your spectacular volunteerism with Store To Door!

College students unite to help Store To Door

What do University of Minnesota, Concordia College, and Hamline Univeristy all have in common? They are all taking a special interest in Store To Door and its volunteer opportunities!
"Most volunteer opportunities for our students are involving tutoring, so it is great to be able to inform them about something so different and exciting" said Anna, an intern working at the Concordia College service learning office.
After attending the U of M volunteer fair last Thursday, Store To Door has 30 new students interested in learning more about Store To Door. This Thursday we will be visiting Hamline University at their annual volunteer fair set to take place from 11am-1pm on the Old Main Mall on their campus.
With so many service-minded colleges in the area, we are grateful to have a link to partnering with generation Y!
