Kobie teammates are heading into the “-ber” months with big hearts and helping hands. 🍂    A few of our Minnesota-based teammates came together to use their volunteer hours in support of the Horticultural Research Center (HRC), where they harvested over 500 varieties of pumpkins, gourds, and squash. 🌱   We love seeing teammates connect outside of work, give back to their community, and make the most of their paid volunteer hours. Here’s to spreading generosity this season - we hope it inspires you to give back in your own community, too. 👏🏼🧡

Right now, as September closes and October begins, retailers should be watching those loyalty signals closely: https://lnkd.in/eY5DYW37.
