Giant checks and blankets and coats, oh my! Following a year of incredible service, our season of giving wrapped 2019 up in a giant velvety bow of impressive generosity. LHM Group employees in every state report that the warm feelings and glowing cheer they experienced as they enriched lives in their communities during the holiday season will be enough to last till next season. But we all know that no one in the LHM Group will wait that long to start up the giving again—there’s just a little bit too much good left to do in the world.
Many of the donations given out each year come from the Give Us 5 program, where funds from employees are used to benefit worthy causes in the communities where the donations came from.
A lot of the people we impacted this year may not ever know who was responsible, but the reward is not in public acknowledgement and recognition—it lies in knowing that we’ve been able to enrich lives.
And this is only a small taste of all the good now in the world thanks to you.
