This holiday season, Conroe business groups have united to share joy and generosity, reflecting the essence of community giving. Local companies are significantly impacting the lives of their neighbors through initiatives like food drives and toy donations.
Minco Machine and Clad Welding, a cornerstone of Conroe since 1978, embodies this dedication. Minco’s team specializes in custom equipment for oil and gas while also emphasizing community outreach. Motivated by their General Manager, J.B. Cheatham, employees adorned 200 breakfast bags with encouraging messages and creative artwork for Meals on Wheels in Montgomery County. “It encompasses much more than mere financial statements.” “Projects like this remind us of the larger perspective,” Cheatham stated.
McKesson Pharmaceutical Solutions and Services took the initiative by organizing its annual food drive to benefit the Montgomery County Food Bank. Employees packed a whole vehicle with non-perishable items for the Holiday Helpings Food and Funds Drive. In a similar vein, LINEV Systems US, Inc., recognized for its X-ray technology, has gathered food and monetary contributions for the Food Bank over the last four years, with the goal of surpassing its prior donation of 176 pounds this season.
Hiland Dairy played a significant role by sponsoring the Conroe Tree Lighting and Toby Powell Conroe Christmas Celebration. At the same time, VGXI, a global supplier of biomedical products, organized its 23rd annual toy drive to support the Montgomery County Women’s Shelter.
“These efforts highlight the strong commitment of Conroe businesses to the community,” said Laura Lea Palmer, Assistant Director for Economic Development. “Their contributions enrich the holiday season and improve the quality of life in Conroe.”
As local companies increasingly engage in philanthropy, their united efforts illuminate the holiday season and highlight the importance of community collaboration in Conroe.
