We believe that it is important to give back to a community that has helped us become successful. While it is not possible to support every project that is presented to us, we are proud of the number of worthwhile causes that we have supported over the years.
The following list, which is by no means complete, indicates projects and organizations that we have supported either through the company, the owners or our employees.
- United Way Annual Fund Drive
- Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Sell-A-Thon
- Easter Seals
- Columbia College
- Woodhaven
- Alternative Community Training (ACT!)
- Big Brothers / Big Sisters
- Columbia Regional Hospital
- Columbia Northwest Rotary
- Columbia South Rotary
- Boy Scouts - Great Rivers Council
- Columbia Chamber of Commerce
- Various Mid-Missouri schools
As a result of personal and company involvement, Joe Machens was named the 1997 Columbia Chamber of Commerce Man of the Year.
