Community Spirit at Gaylord Industries

Thanks to employees of Tualatin-based Gaylord Industries for taking the time to hear about the work of United Way in our community. Gaylord Industries manufactures custom-engineered commercial kitchen equipment, specializing in exhaust hoods.

About 80 employees gathered at three meetings -- a wonderful turnout. Pictured below is Mike McNeel, Gaylord Director of Business Development; Joan Corella, United Way Community Speaker; and Denice Arnold, Human Resources Manager at Gaylord Industries.



According to Russ Albertson, United Way Community Account Manager, "It was touching to hear the story shared by Mike McNeel, about how he and his family had used 211Info to get services for a relative. We appreciate his powerful support of our United Way."



211Info is Oregon and Southwest Washington’s comprehensive support hub for 2-1-1: a social services helpline. Each year, 211Info helps more than 100,000 people by providing referrals to food, shelter, financial assistance, health care and other health and human services throughout the four-county region.
