“Together as a team, OnTrac is delivering hope to the communities in which we live and grow throughout our eight-state footprint,” says Laura Peterson, OnTrac vice president of marketing and public relations. “Some of the ways that we deliver hope to others is by corporate donations, community outreach, and employee volunteerism. We enjoy partnering with multiple organizations in order to affect a greater population and make a difference for our community, our employees, and our customers. Whether OnTrac is investing in today’s youth for tomorrow’s leaders or building awareness for a cause that gives hope and support, we are able to come together as a team and make a greater impact. Through our involvement with 29 charitable organizations, we’re able to relate to OnTrac employees through a variety of causes that are important to them, while providing multiple opportunities to get involved. For example, OnTrac provides opportunities for employees to get involved by donating their time through a physical activity or volunteerism. OnTrac also organizes various drives for employees to get involved by donating actual food, clothing items, and school supplies to name a few.”
