Below are the charities our employees chose to support this year:

For the second year in a row, LMGW staff chose to work at Sacred Heart Community Service Center for our annual volunteer day. Sacred Heart makes an incredible impact on individuals and families in our own community who are affected by poverty. Partner, Jennifer Hauck, with the assistance of the LMGW Events Committee and Sacred Heart Staff, organized our team into groups working in the Thrift Shop, helping in the food packing and refrigeration area, and assisting with distribution to service center clients. LMGW staff sorted, packed, and distributed fresh and packaged food, clothing and personal hygiene items to needy families and carried hundreds of pounds of items for disabled and senior citizens.
LMGW staff chose to work with Sacred Heart for our volunteer service day to support Sacred Heart’s mission of helping to build a community free from poverty. In one typical day for Sacred Heart, over 450 families received food and clothing, helping them save money to pay their household bills. The Fourth Annual LMGW Community Volunteer Day was a gratifying event that was appreciated by everyone who participated. We are committed to regularly providing service to less fortunate members of our community.

November 20th, 2014 dawned rainy and cold but that didn’t stop LMGW staff from their commitment to serving those in need in our community. For our second annual LMGW Community Volunteer Day, we chose a local nonprofit organization, The Saratoga Area Senior Coordinating Council (SASCC). (www.sascc.org)
Once again, our dedicated Senior Accountant Katie Vachon acted as coordinator, working with Partner Michael Bryant and SASCC staff to identify areas of need. Katie rallied LMGW troops into work groups prepared to provide the center and its members with some much needed attention. Read more
