Lang-Mekra North America has made it a policy to become and remain involved with both the immediate community and national charities. In this way, the company philosophy of reinvestment applies not only to technology, but also to the people we employ and the markets we serve.
Lang-Mekra employees have responded to local and national needs by pooling contributions for local foster children at Christmastime, donating blood to the American Red Cross and raising company-matched funds for causes ranging from hurricane relief to the local food pantries. An annual contribution calendar allows employees to donate necessary items to women's shelters and children’s' homes throughout the year.
On a corporate level, Lang-Mekra North America backs causes as diverse as the United Way, Juvenile Diabetes and the March of Dimes. For the immediate community, Lang-Mekra North America has built an 8,868 square foot Montessori School, which provides high-quality early childhood education at reduced prices to employees and community members.
Giving to the community doesn't only mean contributions, it also means participation. Twice a year, Lang-Mekra North America sponsors employees for walk teams for the March of Dimes and the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Individual employees are always sponsored in their efforts toward charities that have been special parts of their lives.
Through this kind of community involvement, Lang-Mekra North America is trying to empower others to "Take the Ideal and Make It Real," for themselves, their families and their communities.
