Spencer Linn, of Sauk Rapids, returns to his teams cart with an armful of school supplies as Joyce Linn of St. Joseph and Jeff Linn of Alexandria check the list and tally up the cost. The Sauk Rapids office of Primerica Financial Services descended upon the aisles of Crossroads Target Store to shop for school supplies to donate to area schools on the evening of Aug. 9. Seventeen employees broke into two teams, each with $300 to spend. Their goal was to be the first team to collect all of the items on their shopping list while spending as close to their limit as possible but not exceeding it. The supplies purchased will be loaded into 50 backpacks donated by Primerica. Schools that will benefit include, but are not limited to the following: Sartell, Rice, Royalton and Foley. Said District Leader Spencer Linn, “Primerica’s mission is to help families and individuals and this is just another way we can give back.”
Joyce Linn of St. Joseph, and Target cashier April Stenseth of St. Cloud anxiously anticipate how closely the team came to reaching their goal while in the background Kallie Linn of St. Joseph, Carrie Seanger of St. Cloud, and Eric Linn of St. Joseph continue unloading the cart.
