PECO Pallet is passionate about giving back to the community! Our employees are active throughout the year in volunteer service projects across the U.S. and Canada.
PECO associates came together in July 2024 to support Boys and Girls Clubs in both the U.S. and Canada through donations and volunteering. The Boys and Girls Club offers a safe place and a variety of academic, health, and leadership programs across 5,000 locations in the US and 635 in Canada.
In addition to several internal events and activities during Mental Health Awareness Month in May 2024, PECO associates made donations to support Marshmallow's Hope, a non-profit that helps prevent suicides among youth, service members, veterans, and first responders.
During a company-wide donation drive in March 2024, pet supply items were donated to animal shelters across North America. Most items were purchased from Amazon Wish Lists to fulfill specific needs for community animal shelters.
To support our employees and connect with our local communities, PECO Pallet’s new Volunteerism initiative encourages everyone to get involved and give back. Shown here are PECO teams in different regions sorting food at local food banks and packing gift bags for seniors.
PECO Pallet employees donated a total of 609 pairs of shoes to Soles 4 Souls, a non-profit organization that donates shoes and clothing to people in crisis situations, to entrepreneurs in developing nations, and to children experiencing homelessness. PECO more than doubled the original company goal of 250 pairs—and also donated 150 whitewood pallets to the organization.
The company-wide PECO Fitness Challenge encouraged individuals and teams to track their daily steps and other exercise, share their progress, and compete for fun prizes. Over 250 participants ended up logging a total of more than 60 million steps—equivalent to 27,939 miles, or more than once around the globe!
In December 2021 the PECO Pallet Canada team donated both money and our time to Holiday Helpers Canada, a charity that provides Christmas gifts to low-income families with young children. We worked in the warehouse preparing and wrapping packages and then got to deliver gifts to families. It was wonderful to bring them some joy and encouragement during the holiday season!
In June and July 2021, PECO Pallet provided free COVID-19 vaccination clinics at our Chicago, IL and Columbus, OH depot locations. These clinics were open to PECO employees, families, and local residents.
Congratulations to our Chicago and Columbus teams for representing one of our organization’s core values: Safety. We're proud to partner with our local communities to stop the spread of COVID.
Dates: August 31 - September 6, 2020
Location: Companywide
PECO employees had an awesome experience participating in a “Week of Motion” to benefit Home for Our Troops. This event provided a great avenue for us to stay actively engaged in our Company Values, staying fit and active as a family, providing a challenge for those up for it with the 4X4X48, and most importantly giving back to those who served. Doing all this during this challenging time with COVID provided a much-needed team building outlet for PECO as well, which added to the overall fun and excitement throughout the week.
