2016 was a banner year for Mansfield Plumbing supporting local groups and organizations. The company made 89 different donations of products and cash totaling $38,309.

From school scholarships for employees children to donations of toilets to churches, fire departments and shelters, Mansfield played a strong role in the Ohio and Texas communities where the company has operations.

“Our contributions locally in 2016 were the greatest our company has ever made in a single year,” according to Natalie Thomas, vice president of human resources for Mansfield Plumbing. “We give top priority to organizations our current or past employees are connected to and then strong consideration to activities in our immediate geographic manufacturing areas.”

From hams donated to the Mansfield fire station during the Thanksgiving holiday to constant support of high school and booster club programs, Mansfield Plumbing plays an integral role in community activities.

“Each donation request, whether it’s for cash or product, is reviewed and analyzed carefully,” says Thomas. “We give equal consideration to a request for $100 to support a local elementary school as we would a $1,000 request for the robotics team at the Loudonville high school. Being a responsible, involved member of our communities helps Mansfield Plumbing stay connected with our employees and the places where we work and live.”

During the past five years, Mansfield Plumbing has made more than 275 donations locally totaling $128,180 to support communities in Ohio and Texas where the company has manufacturing operations.
