Inc. and SECOM Recourse Center by collecting basic household items for those in need.✨ H.O.A.P aims to educate, empower, and nurture underserved adolescents, youth, and young mothers (mothers-to-be) by providing mentorship, coaching, and community outreach programs to empower them to reach their full potential. SECOM Resource Center provides help and hope to our to our community by empowering families to achieve their full potential through healthy living, education and economic opportunities. They provide a healthy food pantry, farm-fresh market, community garden, and summer camp, and preschool to those in need. Today, Berger employees brought in all kinds of household basic items to help support these awesome causes!🙏 And a special shout-out to veteran owned Airborne Burritos and Melts for providing us with a delicious lunch!🌯🍴 Thank you all for keeping it always better at Berger!💙
