Community Involvement

Way Tech volunteers have served for the past two years helping with this summer fundraising event.

Our employees were part of the event planning committees, "Race Day" staff, and volunteer sales staff working at various locations around the St Louis area. We raised many thousands of dollars to fund various HHBGC year-round programs supporting hundreds of area youth.

Our employees have worked on several projects coordinated by "Restore St. Louis". The most challenging, but rewarding, was removal of 300 yards of chain link fence topped with barbed wire. The fence made it difficult for police and residents to move in and around the complex. Our teams cut down all the wire, removed and rolled all the fencing and cut down every fence pole.

Our business also donated items for fundraising events.

Near our former office building, we have been very active with Circle of Concern.

Our employees have generously donated to special Way Tech food drives for cereal (700 boxes!), canned goods and a pasta drive (600 boxes!)

In March 2008, we responded to call for help by sending a team and help evacuate all equipment from the building due to a serious flooding threat.

For the past three years we have closed our entire business and sent 30+ employees to the holiday food drive for Thanksgiving, packing 650-700 boxes (each year)of food area families in need.
