The CK Daily – 20 Days of Giving: Day 13
Good morning! I’m Aaron and I’ve been with CablesAndKits for 4.5 years. Seeing the giving efforts of the team throughout the years has been a joy to watch.
I have chosen to give my CK team donation to Feed the Children. As we continue to fight for our children during the pandemic there are a lot of families who need support. Our kids should always come first and we all need to do a little extra to make sure everyone gets a meal.
