02 Dec 2024 Haynie Gives: Meals on Wheels of Odessa
On November 20, 2024, the Haynie & Company Odessa team joined forces with Meals on Wheels of Odessa for a day of community service. This marked our first time partnering with this incredible organization, which dedicates itself to delivering meals and care to elderly individuals in the Odessa community.
Making a Difference
The team, including April Abila, Amanda Rodriguez, Chelsse Samaniego, Beatriz Morales, Hannah Shelter, Brooklyn Kesey, Leslie Gonzales, Daisy Griffin, Brenda Robles, Edelmira Alvarez, Elvia Carreon, and Martina Espanoza, worked together to prepare over 700 meals and personally deliver more than 100 meals. The experience was rewarding and humbling, as we witnessed firsthand the difference a warm meal and a friendly visit can make for those in need.
Why Meals on Wheels?
When our managers explored options for a community service project, Meals on Wheels of Odessa stood out. Their mission to support and uplift older people aligns perfectly with Haynie’s core values: family, trust, growth, service, and communication. Supporting this organization allowed us to give back to families in our community and strengthen connections while making a tangible impact.
The Importance of Giving Back
At Haynie & Company, community involvement is essential to our identity. Our participation in events like this reflects our commitment to service and allows us to connect with local organizations and make a difference.
We’re proud to have been a small part of Meals on Wheels of Odessa’s significant daily impact. Thank you to our fantastic team for their hard work and Meals on Wheels for allowing us to contribute to their meaningful mission.
