Community
Through our charitable involvement, we are changing lives, changing the world, and igniting the spirit of volunteerism.
MAKING A DIRECT IMPACT
LIVES IMPACTED
Reedy Industries volunteers have given back to those that are less fortunate in so many ways.
Children that had only empty lots to play on now have terrific playgrounds where they can exercise, laugh, and play. Reedy volunteers have built 13 playgrounds for Chicago area schoolchildren. Every year, in just one day, an empty lot is transformed into a playground that generations of children will enjoy for many years.
The playgrounds are our biggest charitable event but there are many other ways we contribute to those that need our help. Reedy Industries companies also participate in individual company projects, including volunteering at soup kitchens, collecting coats and clothes for those in need, gifts for children for the holidays, and many more charitable endeavors. This is done with a happy heart, a smile on our faces, and the joy of knowing we have helped those in need.
