Flambeau was happy to coordinate holiday charity drives to close out the 2023 year at its various U.S. locations. Beverly Hobbs (at left), activity director at Madison Health & Rehab in Madison, Georgia, accepts Flambeau associates' donations to nursing home residents on December 20. Pictured with her is Trinekka Miller, Flambeau's Human Resources manager in Madison. "What a blessing your generous donation of blankets and socks were to our residents," Hobbs noted. "So many of them have no family, so it means so much to them to be remembered over the holidays." Flambeau associates in Middlefield, Ohio, contributed $750 in donations to Sub Zero Mission in Painesville, Ohio, which provides warming items for area homeless vets. Examples of items given include new boots and a coffee machine! In Baraboo, Wisconsin, associates were willing to fill holiday stockings and provide gifts given to local families in celebration. Flambeau is fortunate to have these and many other examples of generosity among its associates, with the hope this spirit can emanate from the Flambeau family throughout this New Year.
