Happy Holidays from all of us at Hawkins Ash CPAs. In 2018, employees chose to donate volunteer time and holiday donations to causes that help eliminate food-insecurity and support healthy living through food. This holiday season, we donated just over $5,600 to charities that provide programs and services to stave hunger either locally or internationally. In addition, our employees donated more than 350 hours of volunteer time.
