Community Matters

Written by Owner, Amy Tallent

When Jesse and I started our very first company, we made a promise—giving back wouldn’t just be something we did; it would be the heart of everything we built. Caring for others had always come naturally to us, but there was a season in our lives when we felt like we might never make it.

There were days when our bank account couldn’t cover the bills, when the sound of a loud truck sent a wave of panic through us, fearing it was coming to repossess our only family car. For birthdays and Christmas, we didn’t ask for gifts—we asked for grocery store gift cards, just to make it through another month. It was the hardest, most humbling chapter of our lives.
 
But in that season of uncertainty, we were met with something powerful—love. Our family, our friends, and our community surrounded us with kindness. They carried us through without judgment, without resentment—just truth, grace, and unwavering support. They reminded us that we weren’t alone.
 
That love changed us. It’s why, no matter how much our businesses grow, giving back will always be at the core of what we do. Because we know what it’s like to struggle, and we know the power of being lifted up. Now, it’s our turn to do the same for others.
