Kimball Electronics Jasper, Kimball Electronics Shared Services Employees Volunteer for American Red Cross' Homeless Veterans Totes of Hope Project
November 22, 2023 | Kimball ElectronicsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Employees from Kimball Electronics Jasper (KEJ) and Kimball Electronics Shared Services (KESS) teamed up with the regional American Red Cross for a Homeless Veterans Totes of Hope project.
Totes of Hope is a donation drive in which personal care items are collected, assembled in tote bags, and distributed with a personal note of thanks or encouragement to veterans. The bags include personal care items that are essential, but often inaccessible, to veterans who are undergoing personal adversities. This is a great example of how our locations not only donate money to help a worthy cause but also donate employee time during work hours.
The team also added toothbrushes (courtesy of Delta Dental) and playing cards (courtesy of nearby French Lick Casino) to the bags.
Kimball Electronics Jasper volunteers included Ronda Voegerl, Deanna Farley, Brenda Dubon, Zach Brosmer, Mike Stone, Jeff Mundy, Sharon Phillips, Mike Gore, Josh Moya, Pam Adkins, Ashlee Orr, and Teresa Tolbert. Kimball Electronics Shared Services volunteers included Ryan Schuetter, Denise Truelove, Breanne Hasenour, Vicki Dills, Jennifer Hilgefort, April Lee, and Kelly Goepfrich.
