Thank you, Ms. Henderson. We couldn't have said it any
better.
ITC Holdings Corp., which owns and operates long-distance power
transmission lines that move electricity from where it's generated
to where it's distributed to communities in the company's
seven-state footprint, launched its Power of Caring initiative in
September with employee volunteer events in Topeka, Detroit and Cedar Rapids – expanding the scope
of the company's longstanding charitable giving program.
The Topeka-based team of ITC Great Plains painted walls,
cleaned floors and made other improvements for the Boys & Girls
Club of Topeka on Sept. 18. This work
supports the club's mission to enable young people to reach their
full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. "For
anyone, especially groups like ITC, to give their time to improve
our club members' surroundings, it's truly priceless," said
Henderson. The club serves 2,300 members.
In Detroit, about 200
employees from ITC Michigan pulled food orders and harvested and
packed produce on Sept. 12 and 18 in
support of Gleaners Community Food Bank's mission to provide
households with access to sufficient, nutritious food and related
resources. All told, ITC employees helped create about 87,000 meals
for people in need. "We greatly value relationships with companies
like ITC that actively engage their employees through charitable
programs and encourage volunteerism," said Gerry Brisson, president & CEO at Gleaners.
ITC has supported Gleaners for more than a decade.
Over in Cedar Rapids, ITC Midwest employees plan to
gather on Nov. 7 to continue the
company's partnership with Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity, which
began in 2009. In addition to building homes, ITC has contributed
$172,000 to the organization over the
past 10 years.
