Pillar donated over 100 presents to Family Gateway, Inc. in response to the organization’s Holiday Closet program. The Holiday Closet supports over 200 families including over 500 children. Collected items included toys, games, books, and sports equipment. “My car was completely packed with toys,” said Chris Childress, HR Director and Manager of Pillar’s non-profit initiative. “Our employees came through again this year.
