The most important part of the Ingles partnership is Homeward Bound’s commitment to making a difference with boots on the ground, sound acquisitions and concentrating on the need at hand, not building a corporate structure that eats away at the true purpose of the organization. That is important to Ingles and Homeward Bound shares that philosophy.
