We're back! After an unexpected hiatus, we are up and running again and launching a brand new series!

Welcome to the Community Corner! Throughout the next several months, we will highlight various community organizations that our employee-owners are involved in to share the great work these charities do in the community and how YOU could get involved.

To kick us off, we are thrilled to be featuring Waypoint Services! Waypoint is one of the oldest charitable organizations in Cedar Rapids and serves thousands of Eastern Iowans every year. Waypoint's Chief Development and Marketing Officer, Autumn Paine, joins Buzz Bites host Emily Burds and Rayser's President and CEO Michelle Jensen to discuss Waypoint and its impact on the community. Michelle, who currently sits as the chair of Waypoint's Board of Directors, shares how she first got involved and why giving back is so important to her.

To learn more about Waypoint and how you can donate or volunteer, head to waypointservices.org to see their upcoming events and fundraising campaigns, like their current Waypoint Wonderland holiday gift drive!

If you are involved in an organization that would like to be featured on the podcast, don't hesitate to get in touch with Emily! We'd love to showcase the fantastic work these groups are doing for our community and what our employee-owners care about!
