Taking Care of Our Community
The places where we work are part of the communities in which we live and play. That is why it is important to us to give back.
Through donating our skills, expertise and resources, we take pride in helping our community prosper and thrive.

Things of My Very Own, Inc. (TOMVO) is a non-profit organization that provides crisis intervention services to children who have been impacted by extensive abuse and/or neglect.
After the purchase of a building, they had a water line burst causing damage to the center. Being involved with the organization for several years prior, we wanted to help with the damage and keep the center open. Several of our employees offered to donate time to aid in the repairs. The repairs turned into us continuing to help by building shelves in the collection room to help organize as donations came in and the renovation of the reception and waiting area. On top of material donations, our employees donated their time over a two month period totaling 200 plus hours.
Summer camp is a great experience for kids but the cost can be to great for many families and kids will miss out on the fun and learning. By sponsering a child for summer camp at Camp Nassau, we have enabled a child to experience and enjoy a fun filled summer with other children their age. We also added the luch and snack program for them. All children should have this opportunity and we have helped one that wouldn't have had the chance.
