Dressed in matching shirts and company logos participants used an assembly-line process to efficiently pack small bags of cookies, crackers, and random snacks into plastic packets, seal it, label it, and box it.
Volunteers rallied throughout Monday afternoon with cheers of encouragement and strong leadership.
The volume of snack packages doubled the amount assembled last year due to increased need.
“We’re excited to bring together so many different companies to work together to help their neighbors in need,” said United Way CEO Kristin Brandner.
