Every child deserves a little Christmas

Each year, we try to do a community service project around Christmas time. This year, Tim Cook, Process Engineer; suggested we team up with the U. S. Marine Corps and their Toys for Tots program. With 2 weeks until the pickup deadline, we reached out to our employees and challenged them to fill a gaylord full of toys. And they did! A U. S. Marine Corps reservist picked the toys up this morning and will deliver them to the distribution site that services our county. We have an awesome group of employees with such giving hearts. Every Child Deserves a Little Christmas!!

During the “hustle and bustle” of the holiday season The Dolco ‘Santa Team’ was able to pull it off again this year. Dolco Packaging in Decatur, IN partnered with ACCF for the third year in a row, to provide gifts for families in need this holiday season. The gifts purchased will provide a Christmas miracle. A huge thank you to everyone who put forth the effort to make this Christmas Story come true. #Tekniproud #givingback #communityinvolvement #christmas #holidays #gifts #themostwonderfultimeoftheyear
