A little birthday celebration at Halenda’s today! 🎂🎉

We’re celebrating Glory and Fenn, two wonderful members of our Halenda’s family. ❤️

Glory has been with us for an incredible 41 years (yes, 41!! 🤯), and Fenn has been part of the team for 4 years!

We’re so grateful for everything they both bring to Halenda’s and, more importantly, for the people they are. 🥰

Happy Birthday, Glory & Fenn! We hope you both have the best day! 🎂❤️

Work Day with Dido Richard! ❤️

Richard had a special little helper at Halenda’s today, making sure our Fundraising Pepperoni Stix are up to standard. 😂

Quality control is a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it! Safe to say, they passed the taste test. 😋
