A little pool, some friendly competition, and a chance to enjoy some downtime during lunch or between shifts. 🎱

Nate, Garrett, and Jake enjoying a little break!

Last week, our team spent their lunch breaks packing backpacks for local students to help provide them with the supplies they need for a successful school year. Thanks to the generosity of our employees, we packed 45 backpacks filled with school supplies!

We're proud to support students in our community and grateful to everyone who donated backpacks, supplies, and their time. This project was completed in partnership with the United Way of Greater Cincinnati. 💙

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸
