S. M. Wilson Employees Provide 95+ Community ‘Acts of Kindness' to Mark Company's 95th Anniversary

ST. LOUIS, MO From rescuing stray animals and volunteering in local schools to granting holiday wishes and coaching youth sports, the employees of S. M. Wilson & Co. decided to celebrate the company's 95th anniversary this year by voluntarily providing more than 95 acts of kindness. The acts enriched the St. Louis, Missouri, community by assisting kids, those in need and those who serve our country. Employees were empowered to provide acts of kindness that they felt were important throughout the year, which resulted in a wide range of activities and support. The program far exceeded its goal.
"We chose this form of celebration to underscore our company's core strengths of value, service, people-centered culture and passion to transform communities by delivering more than just buildings," said Amy Berg, President of S. M. Wilson. "The response from our employees was tremendous. We provided more than 140 acts of kindness by August, and we are probably close to 200 by now."
Seventy percent of S. M. Wilson's employees are involved in the community in their own ways.
"The wide variety of support provided to the community reflects the employee-friendly culture at S. M. Wilson," Berg said.
Through the acts, more than 40 Holiday Wishes were recently granted to kids at Epworth Children and Family Services. Seventeen employees gave blood to the American Red Cross. Employees also volunteered their time mentoring, serving on non-profit boards and participating in Ready Readers, while others randomly purchased lunches for soldiers at Ft. Leonard Wood. The list goes on.
