Holland Engineering (HEI) employees came together again this year to support the Holland Junior Welfare League with their annual "Winter Wearables Drive." The Holland Junior Welfare League is a non-profit agency that has been assisting children in the Holland/Zeeland, MI area since 1930. The "Winter Wearables Drive" collects mittens, hats, socks, underwear, sweatpants and sweatshirts for area elementary schools and distributes them to children who do not have their own. Holland Engineering’s employees will be helping in the donations of these items for girls and boys in need of some extra warmth this winter.
In addition to the “Winter Wearables Drive,” HEI also participated for the third consecutive year as a sponsor for DTE’s Annual “Nights of Warm Hearts” fundraiser. The Heat and Warmth Fund (THAW) is an independent non-profit agency that provides low-income individuals and families with emergency energy assistance and advocates for long-term solutions to energy issues. Since its inception in 1986, THAW has provided more than $102 million in aid to more than 155,000 Michigan households who have found themselves in a temporary crisis. The Night of Warm Hearts Gala Event was held this year on November 11th in Detroit and is a signature event for THAW which will help hundreds of families in the community keep safe and warm this winter. HEI is proud to once again participate in this event and remain involved in the effort to continue helping those families in need throughout Michigan.
Holland Engineering recognizes the importance to give back to the communities where we live and work. For more information on the Holland Junior Welfare League please visit their website at: www.hjwl.org. For more information on THAW Fund, please visit their website at www.thawfund.org.
