Today, our Roseville office came together to support the Principal Foundation's Birthday Kit Supply Drive by creating birthday cards that will help make a child's special day a little brighter. 🎂🎉

A simple birthday card can bring joy, encouragement, and a sense of celebration to families facing financial challenges. It's amazing what can happen when people come together for a meaningful cause.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and creativity to help create more birthday memories for children and families. 💙

🎂🎉 365 days a year, every child deserves a reason to celebrate! 🎉🎂

For this year’s United Way of Central Iowa's Day of Action, our team collaborated across state lines to make a meaningful impact. We are putting together 365 birthday kits to bring joy to children in our Central Iowa communities!

While many of us take birthday celebrations for granted, families experiencing financial hardship often face incredibly difficult choices. In tough times, birthday parties and decorations can quickly become an unaffordable luxury. These kits, which consist of cake mix, frosting, cake pan, candles, and birthday card, are packed with everything a family needs to host a celebration, ensuring that more children get the opportunity to feel special on their big day.

Over in our Central California office, we brought some extra sweetness to the mission. We ate cake while signing personalized birthday cards to go inside every single kit! 🍰✍️

Thank you to everyone who lent a hand, a heart, or a signature to make this happen.

July CPI offered another encouraging sign that inflation pressures continue to ease, with both headline and core inflation moderating further. But the story isn't entirely risk-free. Elevated oil prices and ongoing disruptions in the Middle East mean upside inflation risks remain in focus, even as markets grow more comfortable with the Fed's current stance.
