Corporate Spotlight: Eaton Aerospace

Earlier this year, Eaton participated in a food drive competition between them and 2 other companies. Eaton's employees worked together raising 1374.8 lbs. of food, equaling 5.29 lbs/employee.

Coming out of the 2009 United Way campaign Eaton Aerospace, Grand Rapids decided it needed a better way to support the community through out the year. As a result the Community Involvement Team was founded with the mission "To coordinate Eaton, Grand Rapids community oriented activities including fund raising, distribution, volunteering and alignment with corporate programs. The ultimate goal is involve every employee in a community related activity." The team meets monthly, or more frequently if needed, to brain storm new ideas, plan events and celebrate successes. In addition the team sponsors monthly fund raisers, selling muffins or popcorn to employees with the proceeds supporting the activities of the team.
