Fiber-Line’s organized giving – helping those in need
Recognizing the importance of helping those in need, Fiber-Line created the “Organized Giving Program” to help support local charities and non-profit organizations. This program was established three years ago by the company owners. The committee consists of a cross section of employees from all areas of the company. This group meets once a month to discuss ways that Fiber-Line can help the local community, whether by donating money or volunteering their own personal time. With production sites in Hatfield, Pennsylvania; Hickory, North Carolina; and Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, Fiber-Line’s Organized Giving Program is truly reaching around the world.
The responsibilities of this organization consist of donating a certain percentage of the company’s revenues to local charitable / non-profit organizations to help in their never ending quest to better our society and the people in it. Donations are not restricted to monetary donations as the program has extended its goals to be more active in volunteering their own personal time to help groups such as the Special Olympics, Manna on Main Street, and Habitat for Humanity to name a few. Fiber-Line is also donating computers to local boys and girl clubs to help better educate the leaders of tomorrow.
In addition to this organized committee, each Fiber-Line employee has the opportunity every year to donate $200 of the company’s money to any charity of their choice in their name. Funds are also set aside for world disasters. Fiber-Line has donated funds to help in such disasters as Hurricane Katrina and the Tsunami that hit parts of Asia and Africa.
In 2006, Fiber-Line’s Organized Giving Program donated to over 40 different charities. Although we realize that we will never be able to do enough, we feel we are making a difference. We are hopeful that other companies will read this and become more active in their local communities also, no matter where they are.
