For most of us, it’s the small moments of laughter, kindness, and care that truly spark and mark the joys of the season (and in life, for that matter).

During the hustle and bustle of the season this year, Sip and Ship continues to support and welcome change . With the expansion of Greenwood Sip and Ship, onboarding new team members and transitioning new faces into new spaces, change is the only constant in this business. While it’s never easy, it’s often necessary for continued growth, trust and resilience as move into the new year together.

Please join the Sip and Ship team in thanking Jerad and Emma for their service over the years and wishing them all the best in their future endeavors. The Sip and Ship team stands united in gratitude for the opportunities to continue to serve our valued customers and community. We look forward to sharing the joys of the season, and beyond, with you and your loved ones.

Warmest holiday wishes from Diana, Steve and our amazing Sip and Ship Team
