“Think big, act small”—this mantra is a guiding philosophy at Dot, and many of our employees live it out both in and out of our company, particularly through community service.
This National Volunteer Month was the perfect time to recognize two exceptional volunteers in Dot Foods Mt. Sterling: Parcel Lead Josh Stuckman and Senior Systems Support Manager Greg Spohr, winners of our 2020 and 2021 Volunteer of the Year Awards. Combined, they’ve volunteered nearly 1,000 hours since joining Dot’s Teaming with Local Charities (TLC) program.
Congratulations to our winners, and thank you to all the Dot employees who give back to our communities! Let’s look at some of the recent activities and donations that our volunteers and charitable committees made possible.
