For the fourth consecutive year, Quality Assurance Manager Christine Kram from our Alexandria 3rd Avenue location, along with her three boys, brought their ponies and dog to visit the residents at Evansville Care Campus, a senior living facility. Christine shared, “Being part of a small rural community, many of the residents have stories about riding or owning horses when they were younger. We love hearing their stories and know this really brings smiles to their faces!” #SunOptaProud #Community #Alexandria
