Give Back Club Donates $10,000 to Community Initiatives

Members of the SSM Give Back Club (left to right: Chelsea Carl, Lyn O’Hare, Mike Donlan, Sydney Jernigan, Michelle Hohl, PE, Michele Eidle, and Kim Ernst) display checks representing the firm’s $10,000 donations.

Michele Eidle, SSM employee and Operation 143 volunteer accepted the donation during a Company Team Huddle in November.

Spotts, Stevens and McCoy recently made donations totaling $10,000 to organizations within in the firm’s geographic footprint as part of their 2019 Give Back initiative.

A group of SSM volunteers interviewed and surveyed their co-workers to develop an action plan for the giving. As a result the firm donated $5,000 to Operation143. The organization feeds students in nearby communities by providing backpacks full of food for the weekend. SSM’s donation will provide supplies for one weekend’s backpack event. The firm is hosting a food drive in their offices during the month of December to provide additional supplies.

SSM supported the Opportunity House mission, “changing lives by educating, housing, feeding and empowering people to stand on their own feet” with a $2,500 donation. The firm also supported the Tunnel to Towers Foundation with a $2,500 donation. The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation honors the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001 and honors our military and first responders who continue to make the supreme sacrifice of life and limb for our country.

Brian Kelly, President and CEO commented, “We are excited to continue our tradition for the SSM family to give back and support the communities where we live, work and play.”
