United Business Technologies (UBT) has partnered with Blessings in a Backpack to fill 50 backpacks full of food each week for the next three years. The backpacks will provide weekend meals to students who qualify for the federally-funded National School Lunch Program at South Lake Elementary School in Gaithersburg, MD.  Through this program, UBT will contribute $50 for every copier sold from December 1st, 2016 to November 30th, 2019.

Blessings in a Backpack is a nonprofit that works with volunteers across the country to collect and package backpacks full of food, distributing them each Friday to students who qualify.

Every company has thousands of moving parts. The success of the company is wholly reliant on how these moving parts work together and complement one another--so it's important to keep the "machine" well-oiled. For example, employees have to be cooperating, communicating, and collaborating both efficiently and reliably. Information has to flow smoothly from Point A to Point B, and sometimes even from Point A to Point Z. Clients have to be respected and appreciated, not simply tolerated.

It's a question that you've likely heard before, asked yourself before, pondered almost-endlessly before--and yet, it's also likely that the answer is still a little unclear. After all, companies, like people, may be unique, but it takes a lot of self-reflection, a touch of trial-and-error, and a fair amount of time before we're sure what exactly it is that defines our uniqueness. In a lot of ways, helping a company grow is like taking part in another one of those self-discovery journeys that most of us undertook in our teen years.
