đź‘‹ Welcome to the Team: Renata Cormier
We are excited to introduce Renata Cormier as our new Warehouse Manager!
Renata joins us at a pivotal time as we continue to grow and streamline our operations to serve over 170 households. Her role is essential in managing our inventory—from fresh produce to non-perishables—ensuring that our “Personal Shopper” program runs smoothly for all our Neighbours. If you see her around the warehouse, please give her a warm Clarington East welcome!
