Community Involvement
Good Business, Good People.
The commitment to the community and volunteering comes right from the people at Hunt and it really shows the heart behind our company. We give our employees plenty of opportunities to get involved with something their passionate about. Whether they're pedaling for a cure, teaming up to ease childhood hunger, or participating in our donation match program - they've got our full support.
Below is just a small snapshot of some of the ways we have given back throughout the last few years.
CAUSES WE CHAMPION:
- PEOPLE SERVING PEOPLE: Each year, a group of employees use their lunch breaks to assemble tie blankets for families as part of a move-out basket when they find housing in the community.
- SMITH PARK CLEAN UP: We are lucky to have a park right in our own backyard and each year a group of employees head over and collect 30+ bags of trash impacting our community in a positive way.
- SANDWICH PROJECT OF MINNESOTA: Employees work together to make over 900 sandwiches that are distributed to homeless shelters around the Minneapolis area.
- HEARTS & HAMMERS: Devoting a Saturday to help paint and make exterior repairs to a house for a family in need is something we don't even blink at. This is one of our most anticipated team events!
- SUMMIT ACADEMY OIC: We have employees that volunteer their time to conduct mock interviews with students and help them build skills and confidence for their next step into the workforce.
- NEIGHBORS PROGRAM: The employees of Hunt Electric don't just impress us with their electrical skills, but with their big hearts too! For many years we have "adopted" several families that we buy Christmas gifts for and host a "wrapping party" at the office.
- EMPLOYEE MATCH PROGRAM: At the end of each year we offer a dollar for dollar match for employees who donate to three organizations that we vote on. In 2023, we donated $40,754 to: Believet - Canine Service Partners, Change The Outcome, and Lake Street Works.
