“Kimball Midwest’s 100th anniversary community campaign was a wonderful opportunity to bring our Administrative Services Department together and do something very special for our community,” said Tina Hamilton, Kimball Midwest’s Administrative Services Manager. “We realized through this process that there are so many needs to fill and charities that are worthy recipients. This event gave us the opportunity to reflect on what was most meaningful to us and ultimately, as a team, chose Mid-Ohio Food Collective.”
