Three things we hotly debated in the kitchen during my recent volunteering stint at The Choir with No Name : 🤔 Why do people put butter in their baked beans? What can we do to help them? 🥪 Are you supposed to butter the bread when they are making tuna mayo sandwiches? 🧈 If you are making beans on toast, should you butter toast? One thing that was not debated: 🥧 Homity Pie is delicious (here is the recipe – thank me later) https://lnkd.in/d3vb3P7N Choir with No Name is based at St Martins Church in The Bullring. They provide an opportunity for people have experienced homelessness to come together and sing, perform and enjoy a hot meal served by volunteers. Thank you to Sharon Blackwell for organising this as part of Gowling WLG Responsible Business Strategy, and to the fabulous team at Choir with No Name. If you are a corporate organisation that provides volunteering opportunities to your staff, did you know that this generates around £16/hour of social value benefit to the local community? #WestMidlands #CharityWork #Volunteering #Choir #CorporatePartnership #SkilledVolunteering #SocialValue #LocalValue

Investing in our community is not just about financial contributions; it's about actively engaging and giving back in meaningful ways. Today, our sales leadership team exemplified this commitment by swapping computers and meetings for flowers, mulch, rakes, and shovels, partnering with the City of St. Charles, MO to beautify a part of our city. At Krey Distributing Company, we understand the importance of leading by example and fostering a culture of giving back. By dedicating our time and efforts to this volunteer project, we not only improved the physical appearance of our community but also strengthened our team bond over a shared mission for the betterment of others. It's not just about selling beer; it's about being an active and responsible member of the communities we serve. Whether it's sponsoring local events, supporting charitable organizations, or volunteering our time, we are committed to making a positive impact beyond just our business operations. We encourage everyone to find ways, big or small, to give back to their communities. Together, we can create a brighter future for all - a future with more cheers. 🍻 #CommunityEngagement #CorporateSocialResponsibility #Volunteerism #TeamBuilding #MakingADifference
