“One of my favourite work traditions at is our sponsorship program for families and seniors at

Every year, we are assigned some families and seniors in need, and we raise funds as a company to support them in having food and gifts for the holiday season.

Including my family in the shopping and preparations has made it even more meaningful and rewarding to me personally.

I’m grateful to work for a company that supports and helps others. I’m grateful for a workplace that lets us use our time and office space to give back to others. I’m grateful for a phenomenal colleague like .shepp who works for months to pull it all off.”

What a team! Thank you for pulling this together and getting this meaningful giving initiative off the ground every year .shepp .
