]]> Our Design and Development team from the central region spent the day at Feed my Starving Children packing food. Feed my Starving Children is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to feeding the hungry around the world.

The group volunteered packing 38 cases of food that was shipped to Peru. To put that into perspective, the 38 cases that were packed was enough for 8,208 meals for hungry children. After spending their time packing food and boxing them up, the team prayed over the food before it was shipped off.  Below are some pictures from their experience. Great work to the design and development departments!

]]> Our People + Culture team spent the afternoon at the North Texas Food Bank bagging meals for local kids in the community. Through NTFB’s Child Programs, they work with schools and social service programs in a 13-county service area to distribute and serve nutritious foods to kids in need throughout the school year and the summer months. Working with educators to identify chronically hungry kids, the Food 4 Kids program provides backpacks full of nutritious, nonperishable, kid-friendly food items to take home each Friday afternoon. The program operates in over 300 schools, serving up to 11,000 chronically hungry children each week.

In just over three hours, the team bagged over 14,000 meals for kids in need in North Texas. We are incredibly proud of the team for making time to serve their community in such an impactful way. Kudos to the entire team.

]]> The JPI Western Region construction team at Jefferson Makers Quarters, as part of the excavation process for the project, worked with a paleontologist to review the earthworks for any historical findings. It was exciting for everyone to discover several ancient seabed fossils on our site! Our construction team assisted the Natural History Museum with the discovery and delivery of the ancient seabed fossils. According to the paleontologists these fossils were about 3 million years old, embedded in soils that had never been disturbed, and 15- 45 feet below modern structures. 

Once the paleontologist procured the fossils to be delivered to the Natural History Museum, they allowed JPI to keep the remaining fossils. In turn, the Maker’s Quarters construction team donated them to two local San Diego Schools for students to enjoy and learn from. The principal, teachers, and students from these schools were appreciative of the donations to their school. The team was happy to make such an exciting contribution to the education of local students.
