Jeans BeCause – The Daniel & Henry Co. Gives Back

Every month, The Daniel & Henry Co. makes a donation to one of our non-profit clients. In July, we chose the St. Louis Area Foodbank!IMG_1228

To encourage our employees and brokers to take part, we started the Jeans BeCause – Daniel and Henry Cares program.

When an employee makes a donation to the charity, they earn the chance to wear jeans to work once a month.

Don Hiemenz and Wes Mellow, the executives who nominated the Foodbank, matched the employee contributions dollar-for-dollar.

As a result, the total donation to the Foodbank was $1,500, the equivalent of 6,000 meals for families in need!

“The Daniel & Henry Co. is honored and privileged to be a partner with such an important and worthwhile organization,” Hiemenz said. “The St. Louis Area Foodbank is a vital member of the St. Louis community in their never-ending mission to not only feed the hungry, but educate the public in an effort to meet this most important and ever increasing need for food for all.”
