“Since this was our first year participating, we were not sure what to expect,” said Laurie Walmsley, Vice President of Client Experience at Innovative Architects. “We were thrilled to see over 80 percent of our employees participating in the drive. The statistics about hunger and food insecurity in our community, along with an internal competition between our two primary locations, really inspired our employees to help out as much as they could.”
