Most companies probably wouldn’t consider a rescue mission when selecting the venue for their holiday party. But for employees of John Deere Landscapes and its manufacturer Hunter Industries, holding their holiday meal at City Union Mission was ideal. “Serving others was our theme this year, and from what I have heard, the event with City Union Mission will definitely be a standing stone in the history of our group of employees,” says John Deere Landscapes Vice President Jim Fruth.
On December 15, employees served meals to guests in our Family Center, Christian Life Center and Men’s Center. The companies also paid for 70 employees to join our guests for the meal. John Deere Landscapes also bought and assembled 10 quality bicycles for our Christmas Store and the volunteer activity doubled as a company team-building exercise. Hunter Industries purchased approximately 550 pairs of new socks and 550 pairs of new underwear for men staying at the overnight shelter.
