Powered by Purpose: Our Commitment to Community and Resilience

At the R&R Family of Companies™, we are steadfast in our mission to be 'Powered by Purpose.' This guiding principle is at the heart of everything we do, especially when it comes to mobilizing our employees and resources to support those in need. Our dedication to community and resilience was recently demonstrated in our efforts to aid hurricane victims, reinforcing our commitment to making a positive impact.

Supporting the FD Relief Mission of Western PA

The call for help in the wake of Hurricane Helene was met with readiness by our team. When Dan Schmidt, our Logistics Coordinator, deeply connected to the firefighter community, learned about the need for relief, he reached out to Phil Reges, our COO of Assets. Phil, who is also a volunteer firefighter and EMT, was eager to contribute and quickly mobilized resources. His passion was infectious, and it wasn't long before more members of our dedicated team volunteered their time to make a difference.

It is an honor to support The Fire Department Relief Mission of Western PA with transportation and volunteer services for hurricane relief. The local fire bureau of Western Pennsylvania donated EMS and fire equipment that was palletized and loaded on trailers, and our team transported those trailers down south to Hickory, North Carolina.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many communities have faced overwhelming devastation, emphasizing the urgent need for industries to band together. Our commitment to community impact and collaboration is unwavering, and we are proud to play a crucial role in ensuring relief efforts are both swift and comprehensive.

Our Employees' Continuous Drive to Make a Difference

Even on their days off, our team steps up to support those in need, driven by a shared sense of purpose and community. Ella Lengauer, our Marketing Coordinator, was selfless in her commitment. Despite her busy schedule, she eagerly volunteered to join the relief mission, contributing time and energy to ensure supplies reached those affected by Hurricane Helene.

Our employees are the heartbeat of our mission. Driven by a shared purpose, they wholeheartedly engage in relief efforts, motivated by a desire to make a difference. Whether coordinating shipments, volunteering on the ground, or strategizing behind the scenes, each team member plays a crucial role in bringing our mission to life

 

Message from Our Team

  • Phil, Chief Operating Officer of Assets, R&R Family of Companies: "As a volunteer Firefighter and EMT myself, these efforts mean a lot to me. This is a great opportunity to help our community in PA as well as those affected by the recent hurricanes and impact more lives than we can probably imagine."
  • Dan, Logistics Coordinator, R&R Express: "Hurricane Helene devastated thousands in the southeast. With my father as a volunteer firefighter, I felt compelled to help resupply fire departments that lost everything. Western Pennsylvania donated vital equipment but lacked transport. Embracing our 'Powered by Purpose' mission. We rallied R&R to provide trucks and drivers. I'm proud to be part of an organization that truly practices what it preaches."
  • Ella, Marketing Coordinator, R&R Family of Companies: "As an ambassador for The XEL Foundation, I’ve seen how our mission supports those in need and builds community. When R&R volunteered a truck for hurricane relief, I eagerly joined to help. Witnessing Pennsylvania's solidarity in the face of devastation reminded me of our shared humanity. I'm proud of R&R's commitment to bigger purposes every day."
