The Corporate Office Celebrates Thanksgiving Together

On Thursday, November 20th, the corporate office gathered for a special Thanksgiving lunch to kick off the holiday season. Catered by MCL, employees enjoyed a delicious spread of classic comfort foods, including roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, green beans, and a variety of pies and desserts.

Beyond the great food, the lunch was a chance for team members to step away from their desks, relax, and connect with coworkers from across departments. Laughter, conversation, and plenty of “thankful for” moments filled the room as colleagues shared stories and reflected on the past year.

In the spirit of celebrating as one company, our branch offices also received funds to host their own holiday meals. Each location had the opportunity to come together, enjoy good food, and share in the same feeling of gratitude and connection with their teams.

Thank you to everyone who helped coordinate these celebrations, both at the corporate office and across our branches. We’re grateful for the hard work and dedication each of you brings every day. Wishing all employees a warm and happy holiday season.
