VOICE ERG donates 1,400 survival items to communities in Virginia and Ohio

Mission Technologies’ VOICE employee resource group recently hosted two community service projects, showcasing HII’s dedication to making a positive impact in the communities we live and work.

In Portsmouth, Virginia, more than 1,000 items were collected for the H.E.R. Shelter, creating baskets for women and children in need.  In Dayton, Ohio, members donated more than 400 items, creating survival kits for Dayton Daybreak, which supports at-risk youth.

Here’s what the VOICE volunteers had to share:

“Volunteering is not just about giving our time. It’s about sharing our compassion and care with others. The donated items go beyond providing immediate needs; it gives at-risk youth in the Dayton area hope, guidance and support they need to envision a brighter future and path toward success.” – Renee Neidigh, talent acquisition representative

“The items we donated to the H.E.R. Shelter will make an impact on those who are in need. It warms my heart that HII genuinely care about the communities we live in and do business in. It’s very satisfying to work for an organization who cares!” – Sherry Soles, talent acquisition representative

“Global Day of Caring gave us all an opportunity to use our VOICE to help the women at the H.E.R shelter. Knowing that the organization is a VOICE for those in need in our local community makes the relationship we are fostering so incredible. I’m thankful that HII fosters an environment where employees are encouraged to participate in actions that are for the betterment of those around us.” – Jaime Giles, engineer

“An act of kindness provides resources that enable the shelter to provide life skills and services to continue empowering future leaders to lead through adversity and make a difference for the next generation.” – Kimberly Nutter, program management analyst
