J.M. Rodgers Co. continued its campaign of giving in 2021 with much success, despite the challenges posed by the ongoing COVID pandemic. The easing of some masking and other COVID-related mandates and safety protocols in 2021 allowed JMR to ramp up its on-site and in-person charitable activities for much of the year.
For 2021, we committed to volunteering more of our time in addition to our charitable monetary giving. With the needs of many remaining critical, J.M. Rodgers’ employees once again stepped up to the challenge and volunteered a total of 450 days, just topping the total volunteer days from 2020. Helping to build homes, participating in food drives, and performing park and trail maintenance were just a few examples of our employees’ volunteer work.
J.M. Rodgers Co. also increased its charitable monetary giving in 2021, providing more contributions to more nonprofit organizations than we have previously.
