“Eat the Rainbow” Gift in April

The Wellness Committee wants to give you a small “gift” to help you “Eat the Rainbow” and have a lunch full of colorful fruits and vegetables!  Clean eating promotes health and wellness, and bringing your lunch to work helps your financial wellness, saving money from not eating out!

All you have to do is stop by the HR office and pick up your gift!  We have lots of choices, first come first serve, plastic and glass lunch containers (while supplies last)!
