How We Engage With Our Community
Why it's important to Engage wit your Community
We all get caught up in life and forget sometimes that we are not all fortunate like some others. That's why in our company it's important to give back to the community in anyway we can. Making a difference in someone's life even if it's small to you, it's a huge help to them. Our CEO Alice Miller, had a first hand experience in 2007 and it's one of the many reason why she cares so much about giving back to the community. Early in December of 2007, 10 year old Alice finally figured out what she wanted for Christmas and like most parents around this time of year they were waiting for a list of things she wanted.
However, they did not expect their 10 year old daughter to tell them she wanted nothing for Christmas but instead she wanted to do give all her Christmas money that was going towards her presents and give it to a family in needed. During this time she did not realize how much of a difference she would make in a family's life. A couple days later Alice received news that the money she donated to a family, was to a single father of two who was struggling to support his children and didn't know if he could give them the Christmas that his children deserved.
Once he received the donation he was absolutely thrilled and happy he could give what his children needed for Christmas. From that moment the feeling that Alice got from helping that family she new that she wanted to do more for other people in the community.
