The event kicked off with a fun icebreaker activity creatively combined with Bingo, coordinated by Senior Director of Human Resources Kim Campbell. Team members engaged with colleagues they may not typically work with to complete their boards—a lighthearted yet impactful way to spark conversation, build new connections, and learn something new about one another.

Throughout the afternoon, we celebrated the incredible work happening across 14 Enterprise communities, which together serve nearly 1,500 residents, many of whom have called our communities home for over six years. The dedication and passion of our teams were on full display.

The program also featured remarks from Community Development President Janine Lind, who recognized standout achievements from several communities. Park View at Fullerton was applauded for maintaining 98% occupancy while fostering a warm, welcoming environment. Park View at Miramar Landing was commended for hosting 13 resident meetings since the start of the year—a testament to their commitment to resident engagement.

Food insecurity continues to impact residents of several Enterprise communities. Inflation and barriers surrounding transportation to local stores can prevent residents from obtaining a week’s worth of food. Groceries on the Go aims to actively provide vital support monthly, ensuring ongoing nourishment and relief for residents at Rolling Road and Logan Field.

The Salvation Army is a long-time partner of Enterprise and continues to deliver and distribute nutritious and healthy food options throughout the communities. Their partnership and unwavering dedication to assisting residents is greatly appreciated.

Since the implementation of the Groceries on the Go program, Margolius and Mitchell have successfully registered and distributed grocery boxes to over 50 residents across both communities. Each box was carefully packed with essential food items, including canned salmon, a variety of canned fruits and vegetables, cereal, pasta, milk, juice, cheese and other healthy selections.

“Because of Pinny’s relentless dedication and commitment, we are now in the process of expanding this invaluable program to additional properties in my portfolio. Once again, I am proud to work for a company that truly puts Residents First,” expressed Mitchell.

We would like to extend a special thanks to Mitchell and Margolius for approaching the impacts of food insecurity with an incredibly much-needed program. We hope that Groceries on the Go will be the catalyst that sparks the conversation surrounding the demand for programs that focus on access to nutritious meals across local low-income populations and communities.
