Celebrating its 30th Anniversary at its Blue Diamond Gala this Spring, Halifax Urban Ministries presented its first ever Corporate Social Responsibility Award to The LIMU Company, a long-time supporter of the organization. Halifax Urban Ministries is located in Daytona Beach and focuses its social service efforts on homeless prevention and intervention.
“LIMU is an organization that has been partnering with us for a long time, and they came to us of their own accord based on their CEO’s own personal experience of life in Daytona Beach and his life as a poor person with very humble beginnings,” said Troy Ray, Executive Director of Halifax Urban Ministries. “From the start, they believed in what we were doing and wanted to be a part of it, and that really inspired us to create this, our first Corporate Social Responsibility Award. We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support and commitment Gary Raser and LIMU have shown us.”
LIMU has provided Halifax Urban Ministries with funding for a number of years, and has built on that support with a LIMU Food Drive and direct marketing assistance. LIMU is currently working with the organization on 2011 marketing elements.
“We very much appreciate and accept this award on behalf of not just our corporate staff here in Lake Mary, but our thousands of LIMU Members around the country,” said Justo Nunez, LIMU’s Vice President of Community Relations. “Our CEO lived and raised his family in this community, so he knows firsthand about the great work that Halifax Urban Ministries does. We look forward to helping this organization in many different ways in the future.”
