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!

Cub Foods and our Volunteer Program
As many of you know, Cub Foods is a major corporate partner of ours, we shop at 5 of their stores, but did you know that they offer support to our volunteer program specifically?
Cub Foods:
Provides a specially trained cashier at every shopping shift to process orders!
Donates gift cards for our volunteers - last year each volunteer received one during the holidays!
Has their own volunteer team that shops at the Maplewood store and will soon be shopping as well at the St. Paul and Crystal store!
Each of the 5 stores we worked with donated funding for the Volunteer Picnic that we held in May!
Supplies our shoppers with coffee and donuts for each shopping shift, yum!
Has unbelievably helpful staff that help shoppers find order items
