Arthur C. Barraclough Community Service Award
This award recognizes volunteer efforts and generous acts for charities and the community. This year鈥檚 winner is Vonachen Services Inc. (VSI), Peoria, Illinois.
Each year, VSI leaders dedicate a percentage of their time and money to nonprofit organizations. To date the company supports more than 55 different agencies. This all started with Founder Jay Vonachen鈥檚 belief in doing the right thing by giving back and helping others. Not only has Jay committed a significant amount of his time to support these organizations through volunteering and board leadership, but he also fostered the culture in the company where others are encouraged to do the same.
Jay and his son Matt Vonachen volunteer their time and business expertise to several local nonprofits in their community. The company鈥檚 support of the Central Illinois United Way campaign has brought VSI the distinguished honor of achieving a 鈥淕OLD鈥� campaign status (the highest honor) for the past 10 years. This company-wide effort involves all employees at all levels.
A company project that sets Vonachen Services Inc. apart from other local companies is the VSI Santa Program. Through employee donations matched by the company, all VSI hourly employees鈥� children are given Christmas gifts specifically purchased for them each holiday season. It is Vonachen Services鈥� belief that hourly employees should not have the worry of affording gifts for their children at Christmas.
鈥淚t is a true honor to be the recipient of this award,鈥� says Matt. 鈥淥ur culture and foundation for community service began with our founder, Jay Vonachen, and will continue through future generations to come.鈥�
