Follow on Google News | SOLitude Lake Management Announces Record Year of Community Outreach in 2015By: SOLitude Lake Management SOLitude's Director of Marketing, Tracy Fleming, noted that the increase in volunteer hours recorded by the team is a reflection of the culture of the company and the desire of all team members to truly make a difference in our community. “The SOLution is not simply a program we have; it is how we operate as a company,” she said. “Each year, we find a need to fill and causes to support, and through the dedication of our team, business partners and local community partners, we have the ability to make a difference. It is extremely gratifying for us all.” For the third year, SOLitude grew both of their holiday giving programs, Little GOBBLERS and HOLiday Cheer. The Little GOBBLERS program increased by 13 percent, donating turkeys and grocery store gift cards to 163 under resourced families at elementary and middle schools throughout the United States for the Thanksgiving holiday. With an increase of 35 percent over 2014, $5,000 in HOLiday Cheer was spread to under resourced families and to children spending the holidays in the hospital. This year, two “adopted” families with school aged children received several gifts from their wish lists along with gift cards to allow the parents to purchase additional presents and household items. In addition, games and toys were delivered to the children who spent their holidays on the oncology floor at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and at the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters (CHKD) in Norfolk, Virginia. The Massachusetts Toys for Tots program also received gifts and donations from the SOLitude staff, and 45 under resourced families with elementary aged school children in Virginia received turkeys and toys to increase their “holiday cheer.” Throughout the year, continuing the tradition of supporting organizations that have similar core values for improving the world for those in need and tending to our waterways and the environment, The SOLution program touched many organizations throughout the United States. The SOLitude team improved a recreational lake at a camp for disabled children, donated to Combat Wounded Coalition to help enhance clothing modifications for wounded veterans, extended a hand at clean up events for various watershed improvement groups, taught youth about fishing and ecology at various outdoor events, sorted and organized food for several local Food Banks and planted 200 new trees through the National Forest Foundation. Also as part of The SOLution program, SOLitude named J.Wesley Allen as the volunteer of the 4th quarter of 2015. Wes exemplified the values of The SOLution during his 47 hours of volunteering during the year and he exceeded his personal goal of quarterly volunteering at his local Food Bank.
