On Friday, October 21, 2022, the Community Brands Configio team spent the day volunteering with Habitat for Humanity in honor of the annual Community Brands Give Back Day, an initiative where all employees are encouraged to spend time giving back to their communities through a day of service. The Configio team of nine helped with organizing their assigned building site in Deer Park, WA. If you’ve ever been to a construction site, you know how critical organization is to the success of the project. Lenny Wolf, Quality Assurance Engineer for Configio, said, “While it may not seem exciting, the build site managers were exceptionally thankful we were able to help as a team. They were dreading organizing the trailers and said the trailers were essentially non-usable in the state they were in, so they desperately needed our help.”
