- As a small business I feel it's very important to support not for profit organizations in the community. Because we are a part of the community. Our employees live in the community.

We're kind of a family being a small business. With that being said, we try to rally together as a family to support those who may be less fortunate or who may be going through a hard time or a rough patch in life. I think that's very important as a business to participate in that, to be a part of it.

Because, again, we're a part of the community and so are our people that we employ and see everyday. They're a lot like our family.

I would suggest doing some research. Look for an organization that really utilizes their resources in a proper way to support and to help elevate people out of poverty.
