\"\"<\/p>\n

In January we kicked off our 75th Anniversary Celebrations with Trent Gives Back to Reep Green Solutions<\/a> and we will now end our 2017 Random Acts of Kindness campaign with Trent’s awesome good deed. Trent took his $75 each staff was allocated and divided it up between four envelopes that included a little sketch and this awesome message:<\/p>\n

“No strings attached. 75 years in business and we wanted to give back to our community. If you can use this, keep it, if not, give it to someone who can.” ~ Trent<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trent then distributed these envelopes around Downtown Kitchener and Uptown Waterloo. We did hear back via social media that Barrie’s Asparagus Farm found one of the envelopes and then used it towards a gift that was locally purchased in St. Jacob’s Village, the home of our workshop and office!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’re not sure where the other envelopes ended up, but Trent has had a fun experience giving back to strangers in Kitchener-Waterloo!<\/p>\n

It’s been an action-packed year and we’re excited to see what 2018 brings. Thank you for following along as we have celebrated our 75th year in business!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
