MSB Teams with Bienville Capital to Pitch in to Fight Hunger
Employees Volunteer at Second Harvest Food Bank’s Harahan facility
METAIRIE, LA. — (November 26, 2019) — MSB Consulting Engineers employees teamed with Bienville Capital in volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank to help fight hunger in Southeast Louisiana. The volunteer group worked in Second Harvest’s Harahan-area facility to help package retailer food donations for distribution to families in need.
“Hunger impacts every parish, every community, and every zip code across South Louisiana,” MSB President Leo L. Holzenthal, Jr., P.E. said. “Particularly at the holidays, we’re grateful to have the opportunity to work with Second Harvest, which does so much for the less fortunate in Louisiana, to help make a difference in our community.”
Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana and its partner agencies provide millions of meals at hundreds of food pantries and mobile pantries across the nonprofit’s 23-parish service area. Its programs also include disaster response care kits, the Senior Cafe Program that provides hot meals to local senior citizen centers, and the after-school Kids Cafe Program, which distributes free snacks and hot meals to churches, libraries and rec centers serving at-risk students across South Louisiana.
