Community Support
We actively participate in events and support organizations that uplift and empower our local communities. From annual events like the St. Jude Walk/Run, which raises funds for critical pediatric research and treatment, to our “Cool Rides and Hot Rods” car show, which provides essential school supplies to children in need, we are dedicated to making a tangible difference. Additionally, our partnerships with organizations like the Walker Thomas Lane Foundation and B.E.A.R. (Be A Resource) ensure that children facing food insecurity or difficult home environments receive the support and care they need.
Sustainability
Environmental responsibility is a core value at Hunton Distribution. We strive to implement and support programs that reduce our environmental footprint and promote sustainable practices. By partnering with green initiatives and encouraging eco-friendly practices within our operations, we aim to contribute to a healthier planet for future generations.
Employee Well-Being
Our employees are at the heart of everything we do. “Hunton Cares” includes initiatives that support the physical and mental well-being of our team members. We provide opportunities for our employees to engage in meaningful community service, enhancing their sense of purpose and connection to our mission. By fostering a supportive and healthy work environment, we ensure that our employees are motivated and equipped to contribute their best.
Every year, Hunton Distribution proudly participates in the St. Jude Walk/Run. This event is a cornerstone of our community engagement efforts, bringing together employees, families, and friends to support the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. By participating in this walk/run, we help raise crucial funds that ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing, or food. Our collective efforts contribute to groundbreaking research and treatment for pediatric catastrophic diseases, making a significant impact on the lives of children and their families. The event also fosters a sense of unity and purpose among our team, as we walk or run together for a cause that touches the hearts of many.
Our annual car show, Cool Rides and Hot Rods, is a highlight of the year for car enthusiasts and the community alike. This event showcases a stunning array of classic cars and hot rods, drawing enthusiasts from all over the region. The car show is not just about admiring beautiful vehicles; it’s a family-friendly event with food, music, and activities for all ages. The proceeds from the car show are dedicated to providing backpacks and school supplies to children at Title One schools. By ensuring these children have the necessary tools for their education, we help pave the way for their academic success and future opportunities. The event also serves as a platform for community members to come together, celebrate their shared passion for cars, and support a worthy cause.
Recently, we have expanded our community support by partnering with the Walker Thomas Lane Foundation. This foundation works closely with Blessings in a Backpack, an organization that provides food on the weekends for elementary school children who might otherwise go hungry. Our contributions help ensure that these children have access to nutritious meals outside of school hours, addressing food insecurity and supporting their overall well-being. By partnering with the Walker Thomas Lane Foundation, we are able to make a tangible difference in the lives of children and their families, promoting health and stability in our community. This initiative not only provides essential nourishment but also brings peace of mind to families struggling to make ends meet.
We are proud to support Gracewood, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping single mothers and their children. Gracewood provides a comprehensive range of services, including housing, counseling, and resources to empower single mothers, helping them achieve stability and self-sufficiency. Our partnership with Gracewood allows us to contribute to the well-being and future success of these families. By supporting Gracewood, we help ensure that single mothers have the support they need to build a better future for themselves and their children, fostering a sense of hope and resilience. The holistic approach of Gracewood addresses both immediate needs and long-term goals, creating a supportive environment where families can thrive.
We also support B.E.A.R., which stands for Be A Resource.This organization plays a crucial role in ensuring that children in Child Protective Services (CPS) receive presents during the holiday season. Many of these children come from broken households or have experienced abuse or neglect, and the holiday season can be particularly challenging for them. By partnering with B.E.A.R., we help bring joy and a sense of normalcy to these children’s lives during a time when they need it most. Our contributions help provide gifts and essentials, making the holiday season a little brighter and more hopeful for these children. This initiative not only brings smiles to young faces but also reassures them that they are cared for and valued, even in difficult times.
