As a company, we have always prioritized giving back to the community. At Hoover & Strong, we are committed to making charitable contributions to local church, school, and civic organizations. Our coworkers actively participate by donating their time and organizing fundraisers to support employees and community members in need. We are proud to support our local community and make a positive impact through our philanthropic efforts.
