The Eagan, Minn. based-employees of Thomson Reuters recognize the growing needs in their communities. On July 15, Peter Warwick, president and CEO of Thomson Reuters, Legal, presented Rob Zeaske, executive director of Second Harvest Heartland, with a check for $125,000 to help distribute more than 400,000 meals to those in need.

Warwick said the contribution to Second Harvest Heartland is the first to a Twin Cities-based organization as part of Thomson Reuters, Legal’s new Basic Needs Campaign. This community outreach campaign provides resources and financial support to address hunger, homelessness and other staple needs in the community.

“This contribution is one way we can give back to the community that has given so much to our business, and provide immediate support to the families who truly need it now,” said Warwick. “These issues take on even greater urgency when they occur in our immediate community.”

“With this gift, Thomson Reuters has taken a very ambitious step toward addressing the shortfalls of food in families in need right here in the heartland,” said Zeaske. “We are humbled by their generosity.”

Thomson Reuters, Legal, and its employees – through West and Westlaw – have had a longstanding relationship with Second Harvest Heartland, by supporting by volunteering at their facility, awarding charitable grants, and hosting food drives.
