Partnerships are Relationships In November, 2020, Debi and Glenn Helseth, co-owners of Carrot Tree Kitchens decided that they would run a fundraiser in memory of their friend Ross Payne. Ross Payne was a 42 year member of the Colonial Capital Kiwanis Club. He was Past President, and had a superior relationship with Carrot Tree. They thought the best way to honor Ross was to donate the proceeds of the sale of Ross’ favorite dessert, bread pudding. When the campaign ended, they matched the proceeds. and presented a check for $1830 to the Kiwanis club. Glenn and Debi have committed continued support and can’t wait for things to open up so they can follow through on their promise.
