2023 Corporate Initiative: Ronald McDonald House Charities
McKinley Carter employees chose Ronald McDonald House Charities
(RMHC) as their primary 2023 charity, supporting various RMHC facilities
in our regions of operation with monetary and supply donations,
supporting their fundraising events, as well as creating no-sew flannel
blankets for RMHC facilities.
We supported the RMHC facilities in Pittsburgh (PA), Morgantown and Charleston (WV), Dayton (OH), and the Greater Washington facility in Washington, D.C. In total, McKinley Carter Cares donated $10,500 in cash, supplies, or Wish List item
donations to these organizations.
2022 Corporate Initiative: Community Food Raiser
With a firm-wide mantra of "Making Good Things Happen for Others," the employees of McKinley Carter initiated a Community Food Raiser to raise awareness about U.S. food insecurity and to make a positive difference in the lives of children residing in our regions of operation in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maryland.
Did you know September 2022 was Hunger Awareness Month? Our team recognized Hunger Awareness through several internal activities, including recognizing Hunger Awareness Day on Sept. 23 by wearing orange (the color of Hunger Awareness) and holding an employee food drive among our regional offices at the end of September.
Moreover, through partnerships with six different charitable organizations for distribution assistance, our MCWS family gathered in late October at the MCWS Annual All Associates meeting to collect and stuff backpacks with non-perishable food items for children and families in need.
We are proud to work closely with House of Carpenter (Wheeling, WV), Manna Meal (Charleston, WV), Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank (Pittsburgh, PA), Cambria County Backpack Project (Johnstown, PA), the Dayton Foodbank/Good-to-Go Backpack Program (Dayton, OH), and Manna Food/Smart Snacks program (Gaithersburg, MD). These organizations, which have a long history of combatting food insecurity, will help us in distributing our Food Raiser donations to those who need it most over the Thanksgiving holiday season.
