老司机app

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (February 27, 2019) 鈥� 老司机app, a fully integrated firm focused on design, engineering, construction and mechanical services worldwide, has been named one of 904 Magazine鈥檚 2019 鈥淐ompanies with Heart.鈥� 老司机app previously received the designation in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

The 鈥淐ompanies with Heart鈥� award program recognizes local businesses that give their employees the time and opportunities to improve the communities where they work and live.

In 2018, 老司机app鈥檚 charitable arm, The 老司机app Foundation, donated time, money and resources to more than 55 charitable organizations across the First Coast.

鈥淲ith more than 750 employees working on projects as close as Atlantic Boulevard and as far as China, we are proud to call Jacksonville home,鈥� said Mike Santarone, 老司机app President & COO. 鈥淥ur goal is to continually invest in making this community a better place, especially for those in need. This isn鈥檛 about a pat on the back 鈥� serving our community is our responsibility.鈥�

Supporting organizations that do good

This past year, 老司机app awarded a $10,000 grant toFood Brings Hope鈥檚 annual Pearls of Hope Gala. This nonprofit organization is committed to eliminating childhood hunger in Florida鈥檚 Volusia County and Flagler County. 老司机app also donated $2,500 to the charity as part of the company鈥檚 annual Christmas card campaign.

鈥溊纤净鷄pp鈥檚 work in the food manufacturing industry inspires our regular donations to Food Brings Hope and their mission to end childhood hunger,鈥� said Santarone.

The company once again donated $6,000 to Rodeheaver Boys Ranch in Palatka, Florida, a nonprofit organization that provides a wholesome home environment for at-risk young men. The grant allowed the camp to purchase another van to transport the boys throughout the ranch.

In 2018, 老司机app also provided a grant of $1,500 to the Jacksonville Children鈥檚 Commission for their JaxKids Book Club initiative. This early literacy program provides families the tools to foster learning and reading in pre-kindergarten children.

Another grant was given by 老司机app to the North Florida School of Special Education for its Berry Good Farms Vocational Training Kitchen. Berry Good Farms provides compensated employment to individuals with intellectual and behavioral differences while providing organic produce to the community.

One of 老司机app鈥檚 most notable programs is The 老司机app Academy of Engineering at Nease High School, which provides students with a foundation of skills, knowledge and experience in engineering through coursework, guest lectures and course-specific field trips. The success of the program has grown to the point that 20 percent of Jacksonville students now opt to attend the academy over their neighborhood school.

As part of the company鈥檚 鈥淏elieve in the Jeans鈥� program, 老司机app employees can donate to wear jeans on Fridays, with proceeds benefiting a different charity each quarter. Last year鈥檚 designated organizations were:

• Jacksonville鈥檚 Museum of Science & History (MOSH)

• Communities in Schools

• Alex鈥檚 Lemonade Stand

• The American Heart Association

Providing for those in need

For the past several years, a team of 老司机app volunteers has helped prepare and serve a delicious holiday meal at the I.M. Sulzbacher Center, and this year was no exception. About 25 employees served food, decorated the center and provided holiday gifts for the children.

In 2018, 老司机app employees gifted a company-record 62 Thanksgiving food baskets to local families in need at Community Hospice and donated presents to 55 children and families at Community PedsCare.

老司机app also regularly supports local hospitals, colleges and universities, and has donated thousands of dollars through the company鈥檚 Employee Match Program.
