M-News: Ralcorp employees making a difference.

"I Feel More Alive When I Am Helping To Serve!"

 

     The name Ralcorp Frozen Bakery Products may not be familiar, but chances are very good that you've enjoyed their biscuits and pancakes which are, by the say, served in all fifty states.   The Louisville based firm also encourages its employees to engage in volunteer work—and on a recent Saturday morning, a legion of employees accompanied by spouses and children arrived at Wayside Christian Mission's Family Shelter ready to work!  Organized by Scott Revels and joined by operations managers Tony Abell and Mac Reed, the Ralcorp team baked cakes, prepared food, and tackled a number of cleaning chores—some pretty grimy—with plenty of enthusiasm and good will!

 

     Scott Revels explained, "This has been a great time!  I feel more alive when I am helping to serve!  It gives me a sense of pride that the team members responded in such a large turnout (nearly sixty volunteer workers)!  We would do just about anything for Wayside Christian Mission.  They are doing such great work!"  Scott also wanted to publicly thank our hard-working chef, Kevin Nelson, for leading his crew in the kitchen! 

 

    Mac Reed said, "Thanks for letting us come down!  We appreciate all the great things you and your whole staff are doing to educate and service our community!"

 

    Tony Abell added, "First of all, I am very proud of the Ralcorp team members and their families that volunteered their time today.  Chaplain Mike's explanation of what Wayside Christian Mission does and the number of peoples' lives they touch was much bigger than I imagined and made me realize how many special people there are in the community that help and how much more help is needed."

 

     We were honored having the Ralcorp team and their families serving at Wayside Christian Mission.  When we all pitch in and work together, amazing results happen!
