Cheers for the engineers
T
he holiday season is long over, but Terracon hasn’t lost the spirit of giving back. The engineering firm’s San Antonio office started the year with lots of local community involvement. San Antonio’s Terracon team members volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, building a home for a family in need, assisting in handing exterior soffits, window frames and caulking joints. The Terracon team made and handed out more than 700 breakfast tacos at the
first-ever Bexar County Cowboy Breakfast at the request of a Bexar County Commissioner. And through the Terracon Foundation, the firm granted $5,000 to Alamo Colleges for a sustainable shipping container home at Eco Centro. “Giving back to our community is a core value of our company,” says Chuck Gregory, regional manager for Terracon. “The genuine appreciation demonstrated by the recipients of our efforts makes it even more rewarding and special.” –mh
