Corporate Groups Giving Back: The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility at So What Else

On 2/21/24, Supernus Pharmaceuticals came to our wyaconda warehouse to volunteer as a team! Everyone was enthusiastic and eager to get to work and help the community. Supernus Pharmaceuticals was able to work so quickly that we were able to provide 50 bags to the Sligo Community in downtown Silver Spring, 50 bags to the Willows Community in Gaithersburg, 100 bags to Montgomery Village Middle School, 80 bags for the Shady Grove Apartments and 35 bags for the New Hampshire Community in Takoma Park. These beautiful bags had apples, potatoes, spinach, celery and green grapes. 

With the help of Supernus Pharmaceuticals, we were able to provide fruit and veggies to over 300 families with just a few bag drop offs. 

Videos of the group making bags and loading the vehicle with bags are attached below along with a video of students at Montgomery Village Middle school getting ready to distribute our beautifully made bags!
