ast year, the staff of a local construction company filled 250 backpacks for area children to assist the Kids in Need Foundation. The same company donated $25,000 to fund college scholarships. Another area homebuilder marked its tenth consecutive year participating in an annual Thanksgiving outreach program designed to fight food insecurity in Northeast Florida. One Jax-based law firm saw its attorneys provide more than 1,500 hours of pro bono legal services and volunteer time to nonprofit groups, schools and arts organizations. The staff of another area business built a wheelchair ramp for a facility in desperate need of one. Stories like these could fill the pages of a magazine. And, in this issue of Jacksonville Magazine, they do, at least for a handful of pages.

Two dozen local businesses are honored on the following pages as this year’s Companies With Heart. These 24 enterprises are in business to turn a profit, grow their market share and capitalize on the opportunities that present themselves each year. However, they do so with an understanding that contributing to the greater good—whether that be around the globe or right here along Florida’s First Coast—is also really good for business. The companies featured here and, more specifically, the people they employ, help improve our city through countless volunteer hours, monetary donations, grassroots creativity and otherwise give of their time, wallets, elbow grease and brain power. It’s undeniable that Jacksonville and all of Northeast Florida are better for it.
