One of the perks of my job is getting to work with businesses and organizations around the St. Louis Community who generously support the Red Cross. A perfect example is Maritz.
During the American Red Cross Clothing Drive on September 23rd, Maritz employees collected more than 100 boxes of clothing to aid the many families in need around the St. Louis Community. Supporting the Red Cross through Clothing Drives and Blood Drives are just a few ways Maritz People help support the organization. Maritz is also working to be a St. Louis Ready Rating Site for the American Red Cross for use and support in times of disaster. According to Sherry Ward, a Division Vice President with Maritz, "Community involvement is important to our company and to our people. Maritz takes pride in supporting our community especially in this down economy. Even though everyone has been hit hard, we must pull together to meet the greater need. This spirit and culture is what makes Maritz people stand out in our community."
Thanks for all you do, Maritz People!
