Community service and corporate responsibility are a part of business at AccuformNMC.
An internal humanitarian organization handles charitable donations from AccuformNMC.
Several years ago, AccuformNMC employees decided to form a group dedicated to facilitating donations and philanthropic activities on behalf of the company. Today, the Accuform Angels are comprised of 290 employees who organize fun activities and events which help raise money and awareness for a variety of causes. They also coordinate monetary and in-kind donations.
Charity and volunteerism are a way-of-life at AccuformNMC. These activities help build the strong sense of community which is critical to healthy and safe work environments.
The Accuform Angels describe their mission as follows:
"With an open heart, we work together to build better communities and improve lives through humanitarian and charitable contributions. When helping others, our lives are enriched and spirits are strengthened."
AccuformNMC supports diverse local and international charitable organizations.
AccuformNMC gives annual support to a variety of organizations which advocate for the well-being of people, animals, and the environment.
Current recipients of annual donations from AccuformNMC include:
AccuformNMC employees have donated their time to upgrade both East Side and Spring Hill Elementary Schools.
At the start of the 2015-16 school year, AccuformNMC and its employees gave back to their community in the style of an extreme school make-over by first adopting East Side Elementary.
Armed with supplies provided by AccuformNMC, the employees swarmed upon the library. Adding graphics on doors, brick walls, and hallways. They added a reading area, computer monitor graphics and even turned conduit posts into wayfinding palm trees.
Working diligently, AccuformNMC transformed the library into a colorful atmosphere where information and imagination come to life.
Once East Side Elementary School was transformed, AccuformNMC employees couldn't wait to start the next Operation Upgrade at Spring Hill Elementary School.
Making sure kids in the Hernando area don't go hungry.
While the AccuformNMC Angels are one of the biggest ways we give back to our community, we also collaborate with other organizations to help improve the lives of those less fortunate.
AccuformNMC is proud to raise funds and donate volunteer hours as part of Operation HeartF.E.L.T.
Operation HeartF.E.L.T. (Feeding Empty Little Tummies) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide nutritious meals to students and their siblings on weekends, holidays, and extended school break periods.
AccuformNMC encourages employees to give the gift of life by hosting blood drives.
In early September, 44 AccuformNMC employees saved 132 lives by generously donating blood to the LifeSouth Community Blood Center. AccuformNMC hosted the organization's off-site blood drive. In providing an alternate location twice a year, AccuformNMC helps encourage blood donations by making it more convenient for people to give. While AccuformNMC advocates safe and healthy workplaces, accidents happen despite our best efforts. In just fifteen minutes, blood donors can help save several lives. One unit of blood can be used for multiple purposes such as supporting surgical and cancer patients. The blood drive at Accuform enabled employees to give to those in need.
AccuformNMC donates $5,000 to The American Society of Safety Engineers.
With the launch of its One Million Safe Days Campaign, AccuformNMC donated $5,000 to the ASSE (American Society of Safety Engineers). The money will be used to support the education of safety professionals and students of the industry. The One Million Safe Days Campaign heightens awareness of the importance of working safe. Once AccuformNMC has reached its goal of one million safe days, it will donate another $5,000 to ASSE to invest further in safety research and development, scholarships, professional development, and safety awareness. By collaborating with the American Society of Safety Engineers, Accuform is helping to inspire more safe work days and a stronger culture of safety.
Corporate volunteer programs benefit employees, companies, and communities.
The benefits of volunteerism are many. Not only do community organizations benefit from the donation of time, skills, and knowledge, but volunteers and corporations also gain from getting involved. Studies show that people who volunteer experience greater levels of physical and mental well-being. Employees who participate in a corporate volunteer programs express greater job satisfaction, attitude, and morale. A company that is involved in the community attracts recruits and has improved employee retention. Volunteering is a win-win-win activity.
Employees praise the philanthropic culture of AccuformNMC
“I think it’s wonderful that AccuformNMC is encouraging a 'Pay It Forward' culture and I would encourage anyone that can, to get involved with the various organizations in the program. I’m very proud of the work that has been done and the benefits are multi-fold. Foremost, you’re helping organizations that need your help and, additionally, meeting new people, learning new things, having new experiences, breaking the day-to-day routine, and getting paid for it! I find when I do volunteer work, it often helps me to “get out of my own head” and look at my own life a little differently and, hopefully, to grow as a person.”
Donations are available as funds or through a gift of custom signs, banners, or other AccuformNMC products
