“Most people look forward to Fridays, but I find myself looking forward to Thursdays. Why? Because Heartstrings Goodie Delivery will be coming by to brighten my day! As soon as I see them walking in, a smile will spread across my face. They know that I need some Jelly Bellies and always help pick out just the right bag to take to my mom. She always looks forward to having a sweet treat at the end of a long day. Happiness is contagious, and Heartstrings spreads smiles and joy wherever they go.”

Like all successful organizations, this one values and respects its employees and the community they serve. That shouldn’t be unusual, but too often it is. I loved how the employees greeted visitors, how quick they were to ask for a business card and then share their own. How eager they are with a handshake — or a hug to friends. These are happy employees.
