Employees Join in Charitable Giving

FMH employees also gave back with their donations, campaign work, attendance at fundraising events, company-matched gifts, and volunteering. A total of 47 employees and retirees directed over $40,000 in matching gifts to causes they care about.

Employees not only gave generously but donated their time generously too. Over 100 people logged hours through FMH’s Volunteer Time Off Program to support amazing organizations including the Animal Rescue League, Amanda the Panda, Junior Achievement, local schools, local events, care centers, and more.

Thank You From FMH

Pat Faga, FMH Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, thanked employees in a video address at FMH’s Annual Meeting this March.

He said, “But beyond the numbers, it’s the stories that really stick. It’s about the local family that now has support and hope after a diagnosis through our work with St. Baldrick’s or Breakthrough T1D. It’s about the kids who now have opportunities through our contributions to the United Way of Central Iowa and the Boys and Girls Club. It’s really about the people.”

He added, “On the other side of every donation you make, every hour you volunteer, and every event you attended, there’s a story, a person whose life has been made better because of what you give.”
