The holiday season always feels a little extra magical at the JDH Omaha office, and if we’re being honest, maybe a little extra competitive, too. Each year, we split into two teams to see who can donate the most food to Food Bank for the Heartland, all in the spirit of supporting our community.🤝🛒

This year, Team Tinsel squared off against Team Jingle. ✨🔔 Team Jingle may have taken the win, but the real highlight was watching everyone rally together, shopping, donating and pitching in to help neighbors who could use a little extra support this season.

After the final drop-off (nearly 2,000 pounds!), we celebrated with festive treats from employees as part of our cookie exchange. 🍪 Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this tradition such a bright spot of the season. 🎁

Our California team teamed up with the Tulare County Fire Department 🚒 for a rescue drill from an elevated catwalk. The goal was to give our team a look at how we prepare for real emergencies and to reinforce our first core value: We take care of one another because we value safety. 🦺

This exercise had been in the works for months, and the timing felt especially important after a nearby facility experienced a real elevated rescue following an employee fall. Mid-States Companies, our partner that builds many of our facilities, also joined the drill to observe and explore options for elevated anchor points that can support safer rescues in the future. ⛑️

The drill didn’t just help our team; it also gave the fire department a chance to test their capabilities in a real-world setting ✅. They walked away with new lessons that will help strengthen future responses in our community.

A huge thank you to Tulare County Fire and MMB for helping us put safety into action for our team and our community.🤝

Giving back.

We focus our charitable donations and volunteering within the communities where we live and work. Each subsidiary company has a giving committee that works together to decide where our funds can make the biggest impact.

 

Having fun while working hard.

Working together safely as a team means knowing and trusting the people around you. Every location is a little different, but we all value time spent together with annual parties, company outings and other fun activities.

The Pat Hillman Safety Award.

Every year, facilities have the opportunity to win our highly competitive and prestigious safety award — named after the company matriarch and granddaughter of our founder. The winning facility (as determined by a panel of plant managers) earns a coveted trophy, $1,000 cash for each employee and a face-to-face dinner with JDH executives.
