Michels employees throughout the United States and Canada embraced the spirit of the season by supporting those in need.
Each year, during the 12 Days of Giving, we contribute donations for a variety of causes at our offices, shops and yards. This year, thousands of dollars’ worth of food, toys and other goodies were collected for nonprofit organizations throughout our communities.
Michels people who work at our headquarters in Brownsville, WI and at nearby locations also participated in Giving Tree donations, resulting in 150 Christmas gifts gathered for 75 children.
Individual departments also embarked on charitable undertakings, such as the Marketing department, whose year-end teambuilding activity included secret shopping for local families, and the Information Technology (IT) department, who incorporated the spirit of giving in a friendly decorating competition. While the champions received a traveling IT trophy, the real winners were the two families in need who received decorated Christmas trees, donated in coordination with Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Along with our annual autumn school supply drive and a host of other opportunities throughout the year, these holiday initiatives exemplify Michels’ commitment to social responsibility and giving back to the communities in which we work and live.
