Community Involvement
Our organization was founded on a set of five values that we use as a guide in the work we do each day. These values are to be Leaders, Learners, Professionals, Team Players, and most importantly Givers.
Over the years we have implemented a Charity Committee within our agency, which consists of a group of team members that focuses on identifying organizations to support, handling donations, and coordinating with the organizations on different ways we can provide support. Whether it is donating our time or our funds to organizations in the community that support those less fortunate, or raising awareness of the work these organizations do for those that they serve, it is an honor and a privilege to work with each of them.
The following outlines a few organizations we hold near and dear to our hearts. Read more on the incredible work they do for our community and follow the links on how you can provide support to their cause.
