Yesterday, our AIA, Alera Group team came together to assemble craft kits for CAITLINS SMILES. These kits provide pediatric patients with fun arts-and-crafts activities. The children, their families, medical staff, and Caitlin’s Smiles volunteers all benefit from the joy these gifts bring. The kits are delivered to medical facilities and distributed to the children. It was a wonderful way to bond as a team while making a positive impact. To learn more about Caitlin’s Smiles, visit their website https://lnkd.in/eK744N_S
