Kendall’s ‘12 Days of Caring’ is a holiday event designed to give back to the markets we serve through a variety of outreach activities centered around our customers, the community, and our employees. Each year, we spend 12 days focusing on our Kendall Cares mission, giving back to local-non-profit organizations, and showing appreciation for our customers and employees.
To get a better idea of what we have in store, let’s get this sleigh on the road!
