On Sept. 27, as part of our week-long Mission Week celebration of the legacy of Blessed Émilie Gamelin, foundress of the Sisters of Providence, two of our own were honored for their long-time efforts supporting the Des Moines Area Food Bank and Mother Joseph Farm on our Renton campus.
Jane Boies, sr. application analyst, and Dave Thompson, principal information security analyst, were presented the award by our Chief Mission Integration Officer, Sister Susanne Hartung at a breakfast closing out Mission Week.
A video honoring the work of Jane on the farm, Dave with the food bank’s back-to-school supply program, and this year’s other honorees was shown. They were cheered on by fellow Mother Joseph Farm volunteer (and past winner) Mark Schweitzer, Epic applications senior analyst, and Jane’s core leader Charlene Guanlao.
We thank Jane and David for their great work on behalf of our Mission, our community and representing our IS commitment to service!
