On March 5, 2020, Maple Ridge Farms delivered a check for $5,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Wausau, Wis. The donation was the result of a “Give Back” program started in September 2019. In that program, Maple Ridge Farms offered to donate a percentage of the profits from a specially selected line of gifts.
Joining Maple Ridge president Tom Riordan at the check presentation were Andy Witt, chief financial officer; Jodie M. Schillinger, executive vice president; and Shana Gardner, administrative operational support and one of the main architects of the program. Although not attending the presentation, Molly Neises, national sales executive, was also instrumental to the success of this fundraising program.
“Maple Ridge Farms’ very generous donation of $5,000 helps us offer our home ownership program for low-income families,” said Connie Conrad, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Wasau. “We appreciate Maple Ridge Farms’ interest in what we do, how we do it, and—most importantly—why we do it. Stable housing has a direct, positive effect on the health and well-being of our partner-families.”
“Although the program ran only for three months, we were pleased with its success and hope that it will be twice as successful in 2020, enabling Maple Ridge to donate $10,000 or more to Habitat for Humanity of Wausau,” Riordan said.
Riordan also acknowledged and thanked all of its distributors who worked to make the program a success.
