Configure Partners

The Configure Partners team is honored to support five military and veteran families in the Atlanta metro area this holiday season through Soldiers' Angels. As part of the Adopt-A-Family program, we are providing gifts for children and a festive holiday meal. This program allows businesses, organizations, and individuals to assist military and veteran families needing extra help to create a joyful holiday experience for their loved ones. Our team’s commitment to this cause is deeply personal, as several members have close connections to the military, including fathers, spouses, and brothers who have served or continue to serve in the Marines. We are privileged to give back and make this holiday season a little brighter for these deserving families. #AdoptAFamily #HolidayGiving #MilitarySupport
