Giving back to the communities where we live and work is an important part of our culture at Samuel, and the cornerstone of Samuel Communities, our employee-driven donation program that allows team members to nominate causes close to their hearts for financial support from our company.
One of the nominated charities was Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provides a home away from home for families of children who are staying at nearby McMaster Children’s Hospital.
Samuel has proudly sponsored room 318 in Hamilton, ON, and helped provide more than 2,400 meals to nearly 30 families. This charity has also helped serval Samuel team members who have personally utilized its resources.
“As a parent of a sick child the stress is overwhelming. Knowing there is a place that provides a comfortable bed and a warm meal to support the parents (and in some cases the children) is unbelievable,” shares one of our employees. “Families, during this difficult time, need hope and stability.” The Samuel team is pleased to be able to help provide that through this donation.
