We at Knauf Maxwell Insurance Services are taking a moment to reflect on the values that guide us and express gratitude to our clients, who have helped make it all possible. Instead of traditional client gifts, we have chosen to continue a heartwarming tradition by directing our generosity towards a high-impact charity in their local community. This year, we have chosen Rainbow Services, an organization that aligns perfectly with Knauf Maxwell’s core values of respect, collaboration, courage, empathy, integrity, and hope & joy.
