JASPER, IN — In celebration of Arbor Day, April 29, Kimball(R) Office is excited to make a monetary contribution towards the Arbor Day Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping communities plant trees, establish and maintain conservation efforts, and provide environmental educational programs.
