ehsInc Helped Feed over 500 US Marines

ehsInc participated in feeding over 500 US Marines! 

This event was organized by Facebook group So-Cal Marine MoMs. This was a simple way of saying Thank You to our young Marines by serving them Holiday Pies and bringing them the closest feeling of having second MoMs.

God Bless and Godspeed as most of them are homesick and will not be able to go home for the holidays.

Giving back through our outreach efforts is never an option, it's a must.

Merry Christmas from ehsInc

Christmas is a season not only for rejoicing but for reflection.

We thank each and every one of our clients and partners for their continued support.

Cheers to a new decade!
