When businesses come together to support the community they serve incredible things happen 🚀 Today we had Cravens & Noll, PC - Your Lawyers For Life, Window Depot USA of Richmond, and W.G. SPEEKS, INC. in the studio shooting a promo to support the Chesterfield Food Bank and Outreach Center to drive much-needed donations to sustain the incredible services they offer the Chesterfield County Community. So grateful to these businesses and to everyone that has played a roll in building this. It takes so many people to create this kind of community partnership Wabash & Lake Advertising and Consulting, Kim Piper Hill, ABC 8NEWS WRIC - Nexstar Media Group, Jennifer Staples, Ben Arnold, Joe D.
