Ben Bridge Jeweler (my place of employment) has been working with Intranet Connections. I’ve had the pleasure learning from IC’s founder Carolyn Douglas and online marketing manager Rachel Lai via Twitter. Besides the corporate intranet, we’ve chatted about many other good things in life. Mostly food related, for some reason. 
On Friday, December 11, an irresistible tweet came from Rachel:
Her tweet couldn’t have come at a better time. We were running a Food & Fund Drive for Food Lifeline, my favorite local charity, during the same week. I responded to her right away. The following Monday, Rachel and Intranet Connections made my day:
Right then, Intranet Connections became much more than a software vendor to me. They helped me do more for a cause about which I’m passionate, and they made it so easy. No strings, no hoops.
With every dollar donated, Food Lifeline can feed a family of 4. Guess what? Intranet Connections just gave me the opportunity to feed 100 families with their $100 donation on my behalf! With just one single tweet, a thoughtful gesture expressed in 140 characters, Intranet Connections made me feel like a hero. It is the best Christmas gift!
What is your company doing for the holidays this year? What are you giving your customers?
What is the best holiday gift you’ve ever received from a company or a vendor?

Veronica…
Let’s just say this could be the gift that keeps on giving. While I was on the road this week I saw your tweet that had a link to your blog post about customer heros. I didn’t have time to read it at the time, so I made it a favorite. I remembered to read it tonight and really liked the story. It’s great that Intranet Connections made the contribution to Food Lifeline in your name.
My employer, PEMCO Insurance, gave me a great gift this holiday season too. They are making a gift of $150 in my name to the charity of my choice. After reading your story, I feel compelled to ask that the contribution they make on my behalf go to Food Lifeline as well.
So… you have made a difference for hungry families on two occasions recently. And now Food Lifeline will be able to feed provide 1000 meals that they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to.
Please send me the address information for Food Lifeline of Western Washington so that I can direct PEMCO to make the contribution correctly.
All the best,
