Supporting and giving back to the community is an important part of who we are. This holiday season, Team Monoflo came together to support two local organizations in our Winchester, VA community.
Leading up to and during Monoflo’s annual Christmas Party, employees raised an astounding $30,000 in support of local charities, Winchester Rescue Mission, and Concern Hotline of Winchester. At the end of the event, Monoflo matched the employee amount, donating a total of $60,000 across both charities!
The Winchester Rescue Mission provides high-quality care to individuals devastated by the effects of poverty and homelessness by offering healing from the past, help for the present, and hope for the future. Winchester Rescue Mission has been serving men, women, and children experiencing homelessness and poverty in our community since 1973.
The Concern Hotline provides round-the-clock hotline support, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention for the City of Winchester, as well as Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Shenandoah, and Page counties. Their mission is to comfort and calm community members experiencing stress or crisis by providing a trained, compassionate listener 24 hours a day.
Monoflo International is thrilled to support these two amazing organizations that are making a difference and helping the people in our community.
Giving back to the community is an important part of the culture at Monoflo International. Each year, Monoflo donates to local charities to support their cause.
In 2022, Monoflo donated an astounding $544,227 total to 13 charities that needed help! This overall amount includes $111,727 from employee contributions and the Monoflo company match that was made to Katie Teets Bradshaw Comfort House and the Winchester Rescue Mission collected from their annual Christmas Party.
The other local charities that received donations were: The Laurel Center, Blue Ridge Hospice, Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, Henry & Williams Evans Home from Children Inc., Highland Food Pantry, Winchester Area Temporary Thermal Sheltering, Franklin County Cancer Foundation Inc. in Ottawa, Kansas, Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Kansas, Windy Hill, Oakcrest School, and the U of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy.
Monoflo International is honored to be a part of making a difference by helping to support these important local organizations and continue the tradition of giving back.
Monoflo interns gain hands-on experience with summer internships
A vital part of our internal culture at Monoflo International is the availability of training and professional progression opportunities, and that includes our summer internship program.
What is the Monoflo Summer Internship Program? There are many different career paths in manufacturing, from Production and Maintenance to Customer Service and Accounting. The goal of Monoflo’s summer internship program is to give interns valuable insight into all the opportunities available so they may better understand how they want to focus their education and pursue a career when they are ready to enter the workforce.
Our internship program is mutually beneficial as interns begin to build their resumes and gain valuable experience from skilled mentors that they can apply in their future roles, while Monoflo gets a first look at some of the talented people preparing to enter the job market. Many of our interns return to Monoflo after graduating as full-time employees, so it’s a win-win.
Monoflo’s 2022 Summer Internships in Review As the summer draws to an end, so do our 2022 summer internships. This year, Monoflo had six interns join our team to gain hands-on experience related to their individual areas of interest in Sales, Engineering, Maintenance, Human Resources, and Production. We were able to catch up with one of those interns before she headed back to college in Washington, DC.
“It was a great experience learning from experts in the industry. I got the chance to help the inside sales and marketing teams and discovered that I have a passion for Sales! I hope to come back next summer and continue to utilize and grow my skill set.” – Anna, Monoflo International Summer 2022 Intern.
We wish Anna and all of our interns the best of luck in the coming school year and in their future careers.
