New Foundation embodies the Lennox commitment
to giving back to communities where employees live and
work.
RICHARDSON, Texas, Nov. 15,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lennox, a leading provider of
innovative solutions in the HVACR industry, recently established
the LII Lennox Foundation to further the company's commitment to
giving back to communities where employees live and work.
Volunteerism is an important part of the LII Lennox Foundation.
Lennox provides employees with annual Volunteer Time Off (VTO) to
encourage them to volunteer for their favorite charitable causes.
In addition, the LII Lennox Foundation matches employee donations
of up to $5000 to eligible charities
every year, and employees can apply for volunteer and Foundation
grants to give to charities that matter most to them.
The LII Lennox Foundation is pleased to announce its
philanthropic contribution and expanded partnership with Operation
Warm, a national nonprofit dedicated to providing warmth,
confidence and hope for children in need. Founded in 1998,
Operation Warm and its partners have served over 5 million children
across North America with
brand-new coats and shoes. Lennox employees at many locations have
been involved with Operation Warm for over four years, and the
new grant expands the relationship to more Lennox locations in the
USA.
The expanded contribution will enable Operation Warm to purchase
brand-new winter coats for children in need. Furthermore, Lennox
employees will volunteer and hand out coats at schools in
communities where the company operates. This year, the partnership
is focused on the following locations: Richardson, Texas; Carrollton, Texas; Marshalltown, Iowa; and Orangeburg, South Carolina.
Commenting on the Foundation's impact, CEO Alok Maskara emphasized, "The LII Lennox
Foundation remains dedicated to making a meaningful difference, and
I'm proud of our engagement with Operation Warm. Through strategic
partnerships and volunteer initiatives, we aim to uplift
communities where our employees live and work."
