when disaster strikes, our first step is to find a distribution partner— that is, a like-minded partner who will receive and distribute the items we ship—in the area affected by the storm.

WHAT IS GIVING TUESDAY? It’s that time of year again! Time for family visits, holiday parties, enjoying great food and giving gifts. Yet, in the
