Helping Others in Need….

As a critical to infrastructure business, we’ve needed to maintain film production to support essential supply chains in the food and healthcare industries. While this has been difficult for our employees, many of them still feel fortunate, as they have been able to continue to provide for their families. But many of their neighbors have not been as fortunate. With school closures, job losses, and health risks, millions of Americans are turning to food banks for much-needed support. Charter NEX is honored to contribute to the local food banks listed below, that are helping to serve our friends and neighbors.

“Peace begins when the hungry are fed”.
