With nearly 1/3 of all of our food donations arriving from outside our NE Minnesota and NW Wisconsin service region, long-haul transportation is critical to our work. So when Halvor Lines, Inc., called us back in 2011 to see how they could support us, we jumped at the opportunity.
Each week, Halvor Lines transports a semi-load of donated product from the Twin Cities to Duluth for FREE. Since our partnership began, they’ve hauled more than 670 loads, traveled over 95,000 miles, and ensured more than 13.6 million meals for families, children and seniors in our area.
As CEO Jon Vinje shares, “It’s a great way to give back to the community and a natural fit for us, given the resources we have as a trucking company. I think everyone at Halvor Lines is proud to be working with Second Harvest, including our drivers.”
