We’re Thankful for You (and pie)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! While we prepare to spend time with friends and family (and consume way too much turkey and pie), we want to share some of what we’re thankful for this year.
- We’re thankful for you. Each of our customers and friends help us to stay green by keeping old IT equipment out of landfills. We’re passionate about the planet and grateful that you care as well. Thank you.
- We’re grateful to be in a position to give back. Securis’ philanthropy includes sponsoring a child through Justice & Mercy who has been discharged from an orphanage and needs help to survive on her own.We also participate in a JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes each year, and are in our 12th year of partnering with a local high school that provides special education children with an opportunity to get real hands-on work experience. It feels so good to give back and to feel like we’re making a difference.
- We’re thankful for pie, and for 16 recipes for the very best Thanksgiving pies. We’re already having dreams of stuffing ourselves full of the butterscotch pecan pie. We’re not, however, as sure about the idea of rounding out our meals with a sweet potato bacon pie, but maybe it tastes better than it sounds.
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! We appreciate each of you on Thanksgiving and all year long.
