Cartersville, Ga.–During the week of September 23, Patcraft, a national commercial flooring manufacturer, organized a company-wide Transform Community effort through a program designed to foster collaboration and encourage support of local initiatives that strengthen communities.
“The Transform Community effort connected our friends, families, association members and business partners who came together for a day of true community transformation in the areas in which we live, work and play,” said Jeff West, vice president of marketing for Patcraft. “Throughout the week of September 23, I challenged our associates to bring people together in their cities to give back in some way. Be that community clean up; feeding the homeless; organizing a charitable fundraiser; working with our youth; or anything else that served as a passion. With 140 associates, we knew that even a small act of kindness and giving would go far and be multiplied by the number of hands that joined in this effort.”
On September 23rd, the Patcraft product development and marketing teams supported the Transform Community effort through a day of volunteering at Bartow Family Resources to help with improvement projects at the Cartersville-based facility. Bartow Family Resources is a non-profit organization whose mission is to build a healthier community and stronger families through education and mentoring.
“It was important to our team that in addition to the national events taking place, we also support local organizations in our own hometown,” said Shannon Cochran, vice president of creative and design for Patcraft. “Bartow Family Resources is a wonderful organization in Cartersville. Since 1989, they have been a mainstay in our community—one that helps so many families. Our team had a great day volunteering to support their mission.”
Twenty members of the Patcraft product development and marketing teams spent the afternoon at the facility, helping with improvement projects including painting, pressure washing and landscaping.
