This Christmas Impact Recovery donated to six organizations. Making these donations on behalf of our valued customers gave us the opportunity to visit these worthy organizations in-person and learn more about what they do and why they’re vital to our community.
- Our first stop was a tour at the San Antonio Food Bank. We had an opportunity to see the warehouse where food donations are delivered and prepared. We also got to learn about the many other resources the San Antonio Food Bank provides, such as cooking classes, their Hunters for the Hungry Program, DaisyCares Pet Food Program, and their farms and gardens being used to feed the hungry in our community.
- Our second stop was meeting a couple of new intakes at the San Antonio Humane Society. We had the chance to hold Gilmore and Finley, while learning about the many resources and services offered for animals in general.
- Our third stop was the San Antonio office of the Wounded Warrior Project. This cause is near and dear to our hearts not only at Impact Recovery Systems, but also as a community here in San Antonio. We had the opportunity to speak with Regional Director Earl Fontenot about all the resources that they are currently providing for veterans here in San Antonio. They provide several programs for veterans who may have been injured in combat or may be struggling to adjust to life as a civilian. Earl also informed us that their office accepts the largest number of walk-ins.
- For our fourth stop, we visited Morgan’s Wonderland. We had the opportunity to tour Morgan’s Multi-Assistance Center (MAC) and learn about all the resources they provide to people with disabilities and special needs. Morgan’s Wonderland is the first truly accessible theme park in the world. Just down the road from the park is Morgan’s MAC. Morgan’s MAC has several amazing programs, such as Morgan’s Salon and Practice without Pressure.
- Lastly, we met with Central Texas Development Director Jessica Mendoza of Susan G. Komen, at our headquarters in San Antonio, Texas. She spoke with President Greg Hannah and Director of Marketing Liz Arnold about how Susan G. Komen is currently trying to expand their resources into Central and South Texas. She informed us of some amazing upcoming events, such as the pink tie guys and the PINK walk returning to San Antonio for the first time since 2019.
Our team members in Europe had the opportunity to support three different organizations. The first one was Stichting AAP in the Netherlands. They focus on rescuing and rehabilitating exotic animals to give them a second chance at life. The second one was SOS Children’s Village in Austria. They provide care, education, and healthcare to vulnerable children for a brighter future. The last organization was the European Anti-Poverty Network in Belgium. They fight against poverty and social exclusion in the EU, ensuring equal opportunities for all citizens.
Thank you to our customers for giving us the opportunity to be able to make these generous contributions to these amazing organizations, and we hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
