EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – NACS member C.H. Robinson, a leader in supply chain logistics, has teamed up with the Minneapolis Twin Cities NBC affiliate KARE 11 to create a one-day food and fund drive to benefit Second Harvest Heartland, one of the nation’s largest food banks.

This unique collaboration, dubbed the Food Fight, will pit four local news anchors from KARE 11 against each other to see who can collect the most food. During last year’s Food Fight, more than 860,000 pounds of food was collected.

As a co-creator of the event, C.H. Robinson staffs each location throughout the day and provides the transportation needed to collect the donations and deliver them to Second Harvest Heartland. Between staffing the event, and providing employee donations and a corporate donation, the company will donate more than 200 volunteer hours and more than 25,000 pounds of food.

“The Food Fight is a creative, fun, and festive way for local residents and companies to give back to their own community,” said Angie Freeman, vice president of human resources at C.H. Robinson, in a press release.
