Taking Inventory Through Charity
The end of the year is a time when businesses usually take a physical inventory. But, at its core, business isn’t about things. It’s about people. So this time of year is also a good time to take a social inventory. What are we doing to help others? How are we making this world a better place?I’m proud to say I work in an organization with a big heart. And it gets especially big around Christmas.
In early December, our office turned a moving van into a sleigh and hauled hundreds of new toys from Branding Brand, a company in Pittsburgh, to the Monroeville Mall. There we joined folks from throughout our community, working shoulder to shoulder in the annual “Stuff-A-Bus.” Orchestrated by 96.1 KISS FM, the five-day event collected 45 busloads (packed floor to ceiling) of new, unopened toys for the annual Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots. You can bet those toys are bringing smiles to lots of little faces. And feelings of thankfulness to their struggling parents.




Employees at our Cleveland, Ohio branch, also supported the Toys for Tots in their community. They collected 1,400 toys and cash donations of $44,000. When they later delivered some of those toys, along with gifts from the Old Stone Church, to the Family Promise Christmas Party, the Weleski crew dressed in costumes to make their “presence” as much fun as possible for the 64 homeless kids who received the toys.


Each year, Weleski employees give a portion of their regular earnings to the Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. The withholdings are strictly voluntary, and we have close to 100 percent participation. We’re proud that our employees are so willing to give!
