At HC Brands, we value our community and take every chance we get to give back to all the wonderful people who support us. This March, our office got the chance to volunteer at a beautiful farm right here in Jacksonville, One EPIC Farm.
We had an enthusiastic team step out of the office to help out around the farm. Every employee at HC Brands holds our core values to heart: Passion, Winning, Curiosity, Collaboration, Accountability, and Grit. Their hard work at the farm showed just how important these values are to everyone at our company.
The HC Brands employees were tasked with multiple ways to help out this lovely farm, getting to work right alongside the many animals that are roaming about. Altogether, our team helped give a fresh paint job to the barn, reroof the chicken coop, clear out weeds, and donate to and feed many of the farm animals!
Our team got to work right away. The pig barn was in need of a paint touch-up. So, our team got to work giving the barn a fresh coat of red paint. With lots of helping hands and our surprisingly skilled painters, the barn was finished in no time and looked picturesque in the middle of the farm.
An honest demonstration of grit was shown by our employees who volunteered to remove weeds and branches that were blocking some paths behind a fence. As the employees got to work getting rid of the weeds, the pigs also had the chance to enjoy a nice meal of said weeds. A true win-win situation!
Another couple of passionate employees volunteered to roof the chicken coop. They laid on new panels to help protect the chickens from the Florida rain. Once the roof was finished, the hens, alongside their stoic rooster, were able to strut back into their comfortable coop!
Not only did the employees at HC Brands get an opportunity to volunteer at this beautiful farm, but each team member also had the chance to interact with many of the fun and friendly animals there. Jimmy the pig is certainly an honorary “Holmie”, along with the charming dogs, Tanner and Tater.
A special thanks to our Email Marketing Specialist, Ashley Withers, who put this plan into motion. And of course, a big thank you to EPIC Outreach for allowing us to take this opportunity to give back to our wonderful Jacksonville community. The employees at HC Brands truly enjoyed an enriching day of volunteering!
