They made it!! On Saturday, Chef Kaegan from Chef Alyssa's Kitchen led a group of volunteers at Black Mountain. (On Friday, CAK had closed to become a production kitchen of meals for WNC) In all, we made 1260 fresh and hearty meals, sandwiches, burritos and 800 granola bars made. Along with other supplies purchased or donated for those in Black Mountain. We had some extra that were then donated to Food Connection to supply other areas and volunteers in WNC. Kaegan said “Every person was so thankful and it was refreshing to have fresh healthy food and cold water. Some people were even teary with me. Successful day indeed.”

Our corporate team traded in forklifts for flour as we participated in a friendly baking competition at Chef Alyssa's Kitchen! ?? #teambuilding #forklifts #charlotte

This week, my team and SMEs from HR and IT came together to iterate on our internal communication strategies and set big, bold goals for the future. Boy did I walk away energized (and exhausted)! The ?? collaboration, ?? creativity, and ?? passion of this team is unmatched. Special thanks to Jolie Shifflet, APR, for giving us an external perspective as well as fresh insights and ideas. It was validating to learn some of our challenges and opportunities are universal. And thanks to Chef Alyssa's Kitchen, who hosted the perfect, tasty teambuilding event. Highly recommend! Looking forward to continuing to drive impactful communication across the enterprise, supporting our employees as we #imaginenext. The dream team: Alice Kim, Amy Pieper, Brittany Waters, Christin Young, Kaitlin Balesano, Katie Moore, Rachelle Manson, & Melissa Leslie
