It’s a proven fact that when you
give, it makes you feel good, and when you are feeling good, you
tend to be healthier. People who give are generally more outward
and caring, so they benefit from social interaction and the
reward of being appreciated. It’s a win-win situation.
At Endres Manufacturing Company our
mission states that doing good in the community and making our
world a better place is a part of who we are and what we do.
Through our involvement in community activities and work with
the
EMC Foundation, we are continually giving back to the
people who help us succeed.
An example of this mission is the
Endres Manufacturing matching donation program which gave
away over $10,300 in 2011. Thirteen employees took advantage
of this opportunity to help a cause of their choice.
Twenty-nine
non-profit agencies received a donation. Also in an effort to
keep people employed in 2010 Endres donated about 1,200 hours of
volunteer service to local non-profit organizations. That is
almost like paying an employee for nearly an entire year to do
non-profit work.
