π Incredible work, Team Members! We're wrapping up our Q4 philanthropy food drive by donating an astounding amount of food to the North Texas Food Bank, over 11,781 items!! (WOW!) Every item donated brings us one step closer to eradicating hunger in our community and brings hope to many in need during the holiday season.
Like last year, many items are a perfect fit for NTFB's Bonus Bites Program, which provides meals for schools with a high percentage of students who are food insecure. A HUGE thank you to all of our generous Team Members for making this drive a success. Until next year, let's continue to make a difference! π
(πPS - Stay tuned to learn which Consulting Group won the participation contest! We're announcing the winners this coming Monday!)

Divided into three consulting groups - Business Consulting, Data Solutions, and Solution Engineering - each group's donations will be tallied in points to determine the winner.
π€Who will emerge victorious? Stay tuned to find out!
πRemember, every pound of food donated equals a meal for someone in need. So let's set our sights high, fellow evolvers!
