It&#8217;s more than just a volunteering initiative &#8211; it&#8217;s a chance to connect with our community and support causes that truly matter. One organization that resonates deeply with me is NAMI of Coastal Virginia, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. Through free support groups, educational programs, and advocacy efforts, NAMI provides a lifeline to thousands across Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and surrounding areas.\r\n\r\nSupporting NAMI hits close to home for me. Like many others, I&#8217;ve experienced mental  health challenges personally and within my family. Knowing that there&#8217;s a compassionate, accessible organization like NAMI offering peer-led support and evidence-based education gives me hope &#8211; not just for my loved ones, but for our entire community. I&#8217;m proud to work for a company that empowers us to give back in such a meaningful way, and I&#8217;m grateful for the opportunity to support a cause that aligns so closely with my own journey.                            <\/div>\n                            <span class=\"quote-name\">Alana Litz                           \n                                <br \/>Human Resources Manager                            <\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n    \t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n        \t                    \n                <div class=\"testimonial\">\n                    <div class=\"quote\">\n                \t\t                \t\t                        <div class=\"image\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/lawsoncompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Diane-Headshot-Edited.jpg')\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"quote-container\">\n                            <div class=\"quote-copy\">\n                                Being encouraged to participate in Lawson Lends A Hand has been incredibly meaningful for me. Lawson truly lives its values by encouraging employees to give back and by supporting programs that make a real difference. I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to volunteer with some amazing organizations like Special Olympics, Elizabeth River Project, Keep Norfolk Beautiful, Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and Eastern Shore, ForKids, and ViBe District. It&#8217;s inspiring to see how our collective efforts create a positive impact. I&#8217;m proud to work for an organization that not only invests in its people, but also in the communities where we live and work.                            <\/div>\n                            <span class=\"quote-name\">Diane Kruesi                           \n                                <br \/>Administrative Assistant                            <\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n    \t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n        \t                    \n                <div class=\"testimonial\">\n                    <div class=\"quote\">\n                \t\t                \t\t                        <div class=\"quote-container\">\n                            <div class=\"quote-copy\">\n                                The Lawson Lends A Hand program has been a great experience for me. It&#8217;s rewarding to step outside my usual work routine, and it gives me a real sense of pride to be part of a company that truly supports making a difference in the community. The various volunteer opportunities have also given me a chance to connect with coworkers on a different level and to help people who genuinely appreciate it.                            <\/div>\n                            <span class=\"quote-name\">Kelly Simms                           \n                                <br \/>Corporate Property Accounts Payable Specialist                            <\/span>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n    \t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n        \t                    \n                <div class=\"testimonial\">\n                    <div class=\"quote\">\n                \t\t                \t\t                        <div class=\"image\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/lawsoncompanies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/portrait_paula_cropped.jpg')\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                                <div class=\"quote-container\">\n                            <div class=\"quote-copy\">\n                                Giving back has always been important to me, and I appreciate that Lawson encourages community involvement through 16 hours of paid time off to volunteer. The Mobile Food Market at Market Heights is one of my favorite opportunities to serve &#8211; it allows me to help address food insecurity and connect with residents in meaningful ways that I normally wouldn&#8217;t in my role. I also enjoy volunteering at the Mayflower Marathon to support the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and Eastern Shore. It&#8217;s incredibly rewarding to see how even a few hours of our time can help ensure more families have food on their tables.                            <\/div>\n                            <span
