Leaders at US Cold know that excellence comes from effort—and learning is the path to mastery. During our Leadership Summit in Boise, operations leaders engaged in problem-solving projects, shared best practices, and toured Chobani's Idaho Falls facility for an inspiring look at innovation in action. "Our goal is to give leaders tools and teach them how to use those tools daily as they manage their current sites. Every year, this meeting truly exceeds my expectations," said Dave Butterfield. A reminder that leadership is not about knowing it all—it's about staying curious.

Connection creates community. For Regional HR Manager Chris Halsted in Fresno, giving back began during the 2020 shutdowns when many felt isolated from their communities. With support from leadership, his team launched fundraising events that raised over $21,000 for Valley Children's Hospital in their first year. "Lots of our employees felt disconnected from their communities and wanted to give back. We felt this was an opportunity to achieve that goal, and the idea was immediately supported by local management across the West Region," said Chris.

There's something extraordinary about gathering around a table filled with food. It's more than a meal...it's a reflection of hard work, care, and connection. Every dish represents countless hands across the food chain: farmers, drivers, warehouse teams, and logistics professionals who make it possible for families to share moments of gratitude together. At US Cold, we're proud to play a small part in that story. Because when the table is full, so are our hearts. From our Cold Crew family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. #USColdStorage #BestInCold #ColdCrew #Thanksgiving #Gratitude #TogetherWeThrive #FoodBringsUsTogether Larry Alderfer
