Amazon started off volunteering at Minnie's Food Pantry years ago. Through their volunteerism, they became aware of our needs and those of our clients. Shortly after, Amazon began donating products to Minnie's Food Pantry to help provide additional items to our families, allowing us to further meet their needs. They even helped us sign up for
AmazonSmile, which allows YOU to donate 5% of your Amazon orders back to Minnie's Food Pantry.
Once they learned about Minnie's Food Pantry's resource center and our desire to transform lives by helping our clients become more self-sustainable, Amazon leaped into action by committing to host on-site job fairs at Minnie's Food Pantry throughout the year, and yesterday we conducted our very first one!
We are
SO EXCITED about expanding our partnership with
AMAZON by hosting job fairs with
ON-SITE hiring! Yesterday we had
39 people participate in orientation and submit applications. Once hired, Amazon provides benefits starting
DAY ONE and a
minimum wage of $15/hour.
