What do you get when you add one-part gratitude, two-parts attitude, and 700-parts MOD Squadder awesomeness?
You get a Meeting of the MODs that has left us feeling even more inspired and energized to continue forging the journey we started 10 years ago.
This month, managers from MODs across the country traveled to Seattle for a week of education, motivation and appreciation. In total, about 700 MOD and MOD-adjacent folks packed into the Seattle Center (Hello, Space Needle!) to celebrate our accomplishments and look to the future.
There was laughter, excitement, big announcements and even a few tears.
In true MOD fashion, we kicked off the event by doing what we love doing the most — taking care of our community. We packaged 30,000 meals for Food Lifeline, an organization that provides meals to the hungry in Western Washington.
But this is only the beginning. This big act of MODness is the start of our commitment to provide 500,000 meals to hungry children in 2018 with Generosity Feeds. We also took the time to honor some outstanding MOD Squadders who have gone above and beyond by living the company values and delivering exceptional experiences for the MOD Squad, our customers and the communities we serve.

A lot of other seriously awesome things happened at Meeting of the MODs that we’re not quite ready to share…yet. We can say this though: 2018 will be a year to remember.
Buckle up, friends. We’re just getting started!
