During the month of June, Precision Pulley & Idler held a company-wide food drive, led by the Employee Ownership Committee. In past years, PPI has spoken with local food banks about when they receive the least amount of donations, and many places responded with the summer months, as December tends to be overloaded with donations because of the holiday season. Jolly in June came around as a way to help spread joy year-round to people in need. PPI employee-owners were able to donate non-perishable items, as well as cash donations that will benefit local food banks. PPI was able to raise a total of 4,880 pounds of food and cash donations from their locations in Algona, Canada, Humboldt, and Pella.

Michael Kacmarynski, President of the Employee Ownership Committee added, “As an Employee Owned company, we empower our employees to invest in themselves and the communities they call home. PPI’s Jolly in June Food Drive is an integral part of Employee-Owners giving back to our communities and helping those in need.”
