We are proud to be a sponsor for Cultivate Food Rescue as they strive to make sure no one in our neighborhoods goes hungry. Along with other community sponsors, we cut the ribbon on their new cold-storage facility in June of 2024. This warehouse will help store and prolong the life of food that will soon provide wholesome meals to those in need in our area.
