The holiday season is a time for joy, generosity, and coming together to support those in need.
This year, a heartwarming collaboration between My Neighbor's Cupboard and Estes Rockets
brought the spirit of giving to the forefront, making a significant impact in the Penrose
community. The two-day Holiday Food Drive held at the Estes facility in Penrose was a
testament to the power of community, compassion, and corporate social responsibility.
Day 1: Assembling Baskets with Care
The festivities kicked off on the first day as volunteers from Estes Rockets and My Neighbor's
Cupboard gathered at the Estes facility in Penrose. The spacious facility, typically abuzz with the
excitement of rocketry, was transformed into a bustling hub of goodwill. Employees from Estes
Rockets, known for their dedication to both innovation and community involvement, rolled up
their sleeves alongside My Neighbor's Cupboard volunteers.
Together, they worked tirelessly to assemble holiday food baskets, carefully selecting a variety
of non-perishable goods, festive treats, and essential items. The collaboration between the
company and the local food pantry exemplifies the power of partnerships between businesses
and community organizations, showcasing how corporate entities can play a pivotal role in
making a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate.

Day 2: Distributing Joy and Nourishment
The second day of the Holiday Food Drive was just as spirited as the first, but with a different
focus. Now, the goal was to distribute the assembled food baskets to members of the
community. The Estes Rockets facility transformed once again, this time into a distribution
center filled with holiday cheer.
Residents from the Penrose community, many of whom had faced challenges throughout the
year, arrived at the Estes Rockets facility to receive a bountiful basket of festive goodies. The
atmosphere was one of gratitude and warmth as volunteers handed out the carefully prepared
packages, spreading smiles and holiday wishes to each recipient.
Estes Rockets' commitment to community engagement was evident not only through the
generous support of the food drive but also in the dedication of its employees who volunteered
their time and energy to make the event a success. The collaboration between Estes Rockets
and My Neighbor's Cupboard served as a shining example of how businesses can contribute
meaningfully to the well-being of their local communities.
A Ripple Effect of Goodwill
The impact of this two-day event extended far beyond the Estes facility. It created a ripple effect
of goodwill, inspiring other businesses and community members to consider how they, too, can
make a positive difference during the holiday season. The partnership between My Neighbor's
Cupboard and Estes Rockets is a beacon of hope, illustrating the transformative power of
coming together for a common cause.
As we celebrate the holidays, let us reflect on the spirit of giving that unites us all. The My
Neighbor's Cupboard and Estes Rockets Holiday Food Drive serves as a reminder that, regardless
of our backgrounds or circumstances, we can all play a part in making our communities
stronger, more compassionate, and filled with the warmth of shared joy.
