RACHEL HAS CHOSEN CONNECTICUT FOODSHARE AS HER CHARITY, A GROUP DOING AMAZING WORK SUPPORTING FOOD PANTRIES, KITCHENS, AND MOBILE FOOD DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE STATE TO FIGHT FOOD INSECURITY.

“Rachel isn’t just knowledgeable; she’s also a reliable source of help to her fellow project managers, consistently providing the answers they need. Her significant contributions to the Compliance Advisory Board, coupled with a strong track record with clients, underscore her dedication and expertise.” said Julie Hansen, IDS Operations Manager, and Rachel’s supervisor.

We created the Kensie Cares program in honor of the company's namesake, who shows generosity and a willingness to help others. Kensie Cares embodies the spirit of both rewarding our fantastic team with a well-deserved show of appreciation and helping to provide some much-needed support for those less fortunate. 

Each quarter, we choose one KensieMae employee who has most exemplified the qualities of work, initiative, ingenuity, teamwork, and exceeding effort that KensieMae prides its reputation on (both to our clients and partners, as well as internally). We make a $1,000 donation in that recipient's name to the deserving nonprofit of their choosing.
