Wolverine Pipe Line Company Adopts-A-Family for the Holidays
|
|
|
The holiday season is upon us, and at Wolverine we are focused not only on celebrating the festivities, but also on giving back to our local community. Through our
Good Neighbor Grant Program
and individual employee donations, we have partnered with Family & Children Services’ Adopt-A-Family program to provide support to local families and children during the holiday season.
Along with a $1,000 donation, Wolverine employees have supplied household items, meal items, personal hygiene items, clothing, toys, and holiday gifts to a local family in need this Christmas.
Wolverine is proud to support this project and our local community through donations to organizations like
Family & Children’s Services
, whose mission is to “support, strengthen, and preserve the safety, well-being, and dignity of children, individuals and families.”
