March 8, 2023 – The LCEC Pay It Forward Program began in 2016 to encourage volunteerism and support employees’ efforts to give to their favorite qualifying non-profit organization. To participate in this program, employees track and submit their volunteer hours to earn Pay It Forward donation dollars to be awarded to a 501 (c)(3) charity of choice. LCEC employees who volunteer between 50 to 100 hours in the community can designate a not-for-profit organization to receive up to a $100 donation.
Each year, there are a handful of outstanding employees who personally go above and beyond with their philanthropy by volunteering more than 500 hours in the community! During a recent celebration of these volunteer superstars, a drawing was held where the lucky winner of the drawing got $500 for the charity of their choice. Just like in year’s past, the winner opted to spread the money between the charities of choice for each of the three 500 Club members!
In just one year, these three LCEC employees gave of their time and talents to volunteer more than 2,000 hours in our community! One of these employees volunteered more than 1,000 hours alone!
Congratulations and sincere appreciation go to 500 Club members Nancy Miller, Nicky Sierra, and Jenell Dolan for their incredible efforts! LCEC applauds all of our incredible employees whose passion for philanthropy results in thousands of volunteer hours each and every year!
