Members of our team recently spent time volunteering at The Corner Table, where we had the honor of serving meals to our neighbors who are facing food insecurity. We refilled drinks, served meals, and, most importantly, connected with those we served. Seeing their smiles and hearing their words of gratitude truly warmed our hearts. It was a humbling and heartening reminder of how small acts of kindness can make a big impact. We're incredibly grateful for organizations like The Corner Table that bring people together and create a space where everyone feels valued and cared for. We're also so proud of our team members who consistently show up and continue our commitment to supporting the community we’re a part of. #BeExceptional
