I recently had the privilege of volunteering on a rebranding project for Fresh Start Pallet Products Inc through Catchafire. It was a rewarding experience to contribute to such a meaningful cause and work with a dedicated team. A special thanks to Jenna, who was fantastic to collaborate with. Her clear communication and enthusiasm made this project a success. Thank you, #Catchafire, for providing the opportunity to support Fresh Start Pallet Products in their journey. It’s inspiring to see the positive impact that a strong, community-focused brand can have. Looking forward to seeing the continued success of Fresh Start Pallet Products as they move forward with their new identity! #VolunteerWork #rebranding #nonprofit #CommunityImpact #impact
