In the last quarter of 2017, employees donated $320 to the Children’s Service Center. This donation was fully funded by the employees through participation in our “Dress Down Days” events. Employees are allowed to wear jeans to work on the last Friday of the month in exchange for a $5 donation. The collection from the first quarter of 2018 (a total of $345) was donated to the St. Vincent DePaul Soup Kitchen. Second quarter donations ($355) were given to the Luzerne County SPCA. To date, our employees have raised and donated over $1000 by wearing jeans! Go Team Sordoni!
Leadership Wilkes-Barre
Jeffrey Kiluk, Assistant Project Manager, is a member of the Leadership Wilkes-Barre Class of 2019. Each class member is required to complete a group project focused on improving their communities. Jeff’s group selected the team name “Parks and Restoration” and their community project is to repair and restore Quality Hill Playground in Nanticoke, PA. Some of the items on their to-do list includes:
- Repair existing fence that was damaged during a storm this past summer.
- Plant new trees to replace the trees that were lost during the storm.
- Landscaping upgrades throughout the park.
- Paint existing buildings & equipment throughout the park.
- Renovate & update the community room (used for parties and gatherings).
Their mission is to collaborate with Quality Hill Park to restore and beautify the grounds and facilities to create a safe environment for families for generations to come.
Annual Thanksgiving Project
Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and be thankful for all that we have and a perfect time to lend a helping hand. This year, two groups of Sordoni employees chose to help the Commission of Economic Opportunity as our Annual Thanksgiving Project. We assisted in prepping bags which were then delivered to families in need. Each bag contained everything a family would need to prepare a Thanksgiving meal. There is always something to be thankful for, you just need to look.
