• Providing much-needed supplies
o Thalhimer associates donated hundreds of items that Comfort Zone Camp utilizes for camp activities, including arts and crafts supplies and useful camping items.

“Thalhimer and their Gives program is amazing. They truly GIVE—with their time and talents, and financially. Comfort Zone Camp was the beneficiary for this past quarter. The Thalhimer team did so many things! They came to our office and counted and sorted camp supplies, organized camp gear, came to camp and helped with arts & crafts, fed the entire camp (the campers and volunteers loved it!); attended and worked at our Arts in the Addition fundraising event; led a supply drive and even had some team members get trained as future camp volunteers! WOW! Thank you, Thalhimer Gives, for helping to change the lives of grieving children in the Richmond area and supporting Comfort Zone Camp! We are grateful for all of YOU!” Lynne Hughes, Founder & CEO, Comfort Zone Camp.

“It was our pleasure to work with Comfort Zone Camp this quarter through our Thalhimer Gives initiative. CZC is an organization that transforms the lives of children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, primary caregiver, or significant person with their free-of-charge programs. Our partnership with them truly defines our core values of transforming lives in the communities where we live, work, and play. We got to see firsthand how they support children and their families through the complex process of grief and healing by attending their Arts in the Addition fundraising event, volunteering in their office and at camp, and going through training to be future camp volunteers. We are proud to support CZC’s mission and we thank them for the important work they do in our community.” Lee Warfield, President & CEO of Thalhimer.
