Amid the sweltering summer heat, the SME Volunteers team demonstrated dedication and community spirit at the Cumberland Wood Bank by gathering, splitting, and stacking firewood for families in need across Cumberland County.
Our Volunteer Effort: Our team powered through the heat and humidity and stacked four cords of wood and gathered another four cords to add to the Wood Bank’s resources to distribute to those who require heating support. Volunteering for various community organizations and causes is core to the SME culture of community and giving back and is why we offer paid volunteer time to our employees.
