Good morning! Anna from Union Mutual and the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness & Sports!

Good morning, all. Janet Franz, Vermont Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness & Sports, and UVM

Thank you, Sarah Thayer!

Thank you, Lindsay Simpson!

Thank you Lindsay, Mari, and The Richards Group for what you do to support wellness.

Thank you, Sarah. We value our partnership with NE Delta Dental and the programs you offer to promote oral health.

I apologize everyone, I have relocated to an office with hopefully better wi-fi!

Your team is amazing!!

Since the pandemic, it has been hard to find flour in the stores sometimes - what a nice thing for TwinCraft to barter for flour. I would have loved that!

I love the idea of the veggie bag! We do turkey handouts as well around thanksgiving, however we had many employees this past year who did not take a turkey because they did not know how to cook it!!

As customers, our household has always appreciated the depth / breadth of King Arthur’s educational offerings that go along with the products!

Great job Porter!!!

Can we get a list from you all of what you have done and the resorces and contact information?

I'm curious if any groups are stocking a pantry at the worksite for food share with employees?

I may have missed this when Jessica was sharing...does KAB receive a discount on the turkeys? I love that idea but thinking it could get expensive.

I’m putting it in chat!

Thank you for these great ideas. Demonstrates how local partnerships can benefit many.

How many employees do you have?

Thank you all so much for sharing! We struggle with employee engagement in our wellness activities. Did you all find that it was hard to get employee buy in with these programs? What are some steps you took to overcome that? Thank you again!

Questions for all: how are you measuring your impact? How are you building in sustainability into your projects?

Gift certificates to local farmer's market and apple orchards have been great hits at our agencies.

Thank you, panelists and sponsors!

I have a thought for an idea. We could provide employees with a few herb plants this spring, maybe basil, dill and oregano (could be any easy to grow herbs). And then during the summer we can try to post recipes that use those herbs and encourage people to share more recipes and/or pictures of dishes they make with those herbs.

So much wonderful information shared in today's session. Thank you to the panelists and Ashwinee!

Thank you so much everyone!

please send me any other meeting so I can become more involved. Thank you this was great.

Really great idea exchange. Thanks everyone!
