“I truly enjoy the community events because it provides a means for employees to give back and make a difference in the community; It’s a blessing to be able to help those less fortunate than yourself. “  – Yvonne | HR Specialist

It is very satisfying to be able to go out to the community and help where it is needed.  I enjoy working with my co-workers outside of the office.  And to see that what we do is helping those who need it.  Milton – AP Specialist

How do you see that volunteering is good for other businesses, community, and your own company?

Volunteering achieves so many things, besides making us ‘feel good’. We contribute to the education, health, well being and safety in the community by donating our time and services to agencies that support these needs.

What organizations and events has LUXA participated in the past?

We have participated in many volunteer activities including: TAUW Day of Caring (for the past 6 years), SPCA, Community Food Bank, Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, TAUW WLC Reading Partners, Up With Trees, A New Leaf Organization, Global Gardens to name a few.

“I love that Luxa does a quarterly community project. It’s a nice feeling of pride and accomplishment that we are contributing to the wellbeing of our home.”

“I think there is nothing better than helping out in the community.  It is a fun learning experience each time we do something.  I enjoy the time together on something as a team outside the office.”

 – Milton | Accounts Payable Specialist

Are there any new events or organizations that LUXA will participate in the future?

Next month we will be spending half a day at Campfire Tulsa – doing minor renovations and repairs. We will participate in the Annual Day of Caring and our beloved Salvation Army Angel Tree program. Each quarter we vote on a community event.

Can you name the best part about being involved in your community?

Best part, other than helping others, is the bonding and comradery it creates within the LUXA team. The team engages in such a fun way, we look forward to our quarterly events.

“I like doing community events because it feels really good to help those who are in need.  Giving back to me means I get to share some of my blessings and good fortune with others.” – Rickie|Collections Specialist

Not everyone can help financially, however most of us can give of our time. Giving back to the community through volunteering, not only makes me feel good knowing my contribution will help someone in need, it also reminds me of how truly fortunate and blessed I am. Additionally, I usually learn something about the program and its interworkings.”   Judi – AR Collections Team

If you were to convince others in your field of work in volunteering, what would you tell them?

Even Small Businesses can make a Big Impact.  Agencies need not only financial donations, they need volunteers.  It is a great opportunity to show that you care about the community you live in.
