## Carpenter’s Shelter: A Project that Hits Close to Home
It's the people that make the place. The community you feel proud to be a part of and the place you call home. Since 1982, Carpenter’s Shelter has evolved from a small group of concerned citizens into a leader in finding solutions that end and prevent homelessness in our very own community in Alexandria, VA.

## DEI in Focus: Show Us, Don’t Tell Us
Forrest Mars Sr. came up with the idea for M&M’s after observing soldiers eating chocolate during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. As you know, heat liquefies chocolate like butter in a frying pan, making your fingers sticky. So, the concept of wrapping chocolate in a hard candy shell was born. With it, came an immortal tagline: Melts in your mouth, not in your hands. M&M’s are practical. They’re colorful. The characters are fun. Did we need them to be anything more?

## Organizational Culture: A Year in Review
To say that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted life and wreaked havoc across the world is an understatement. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs, and more than 500,000 have lost their lives, to this deadly virus; while virtual offices and classrooms, masks, and social distancing are the new normal.
