Although every day may feel similar to the previous, our employees are continuing to help our communities. This week, Girl Scout Cookies were donated to hospitals and teachers, masks were sewn and cards were crafted to lift each other’s spirits.
During times of crises, helping our community is essential. Our employees are getting involved by donating to food pantries and homeless shelters, writing letters to nursing homes and providing emotional support to neighbors and those struggling with depression. We hope you’re finding ways to make the most of the current circumstances.
