Dec-O-Art’s Donation Day: $60,000 Donated During Company-Wide Volunteer Initiative
Dec-O-Art, a leading label manufacturer based in Elkhart, Indiana, has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to the Michiana community through its annual Donation Day event. This year, our company closed its doors for a day to enable all employees to dedicate their time and efforts to local non-profit organizations, resulting in a profound impact on the community.
The Donation Day initiative, driven by the collective spirit of Dec-O-Art’s employees, saw volunteers spread across three significant local organizations: Center for Hospice Care, Center for the Homeless, and Women’s Care Center. By engaging with these organizations, Dec-O-Art employees are making a tangible difference in the lives of many.
Nathan Dosmann, the third-generation Owner and President of Dec-O-Art, reflected on the importance of this event:
“Our second annual Donation Day is a celebration of the exceptional organizations within our community. These organizations provide resources to our most in-need brothers and sisters – specifically individuals who are ill, experiencing homelessness, and navigating pregnancy and motherhood. This day of giving is an illustration of our team’s belief and trust in our community and our hope to inspire generosity in others.”
In addition to the invaluable volunteer hours, Dec-O-Art also presented each of the three organizations with a generous donation check of $20,000, totaling $60,000. This substantial $60,000 financial support will enable these three organizations to continue their critical work within the community.
To understand the impact of the Donation Day event, we spoke with the Chief Development Officer at the Center for the Homeless, Taya Chapman. Taya explained the significance of Dec-O-Art’s volunteering:
“The Center is so thankful for the growing partnership with Dec-O-Art and their team! It’s so awesome to see the amount of people that come out to help the organizations in our community on any given day. Dec-O-Art has done an amazing job of leading this community in those efforts. It starts at the top with Nathan, the President, and just the entire organization rallying around to help the people that need it most!”
Dec-O-Art’s Donation Day not only emphasizes the company’s role as a business leader but also as a community pillar committed to philanthropy and service. The event is a testament to the company’s belief that corporate responsibility extends beyond business operations and into the heart of the community.
