Mitsubishi Electric In the Community

Mitsubishi Electric Corporation sponsors the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation (MEAF), which works to improve the quality of life for young people with disabilities. Mitsubishi Electric Cooling and Heating Solutions supports MEAF through the Leading Others through Voluntary Efforts (L.O.V.E.) Committee.

To encourage staff participation, Mitsubishi donates $10 for each hour that team members volunteer. In recent months the L.O.V.E. Committee has sponsored several events:

• Calvary Children's Home - Volunteers raised more than $1,000 to provide Christmas presents for children at this foster care facility.
• Special Needs School of Gwinnett County - Volunteers painted two rooms and a hallway at the school and donated 25 gifts to the school children for Christmas. Also Mitsubishi sponsored a putt-putt golf tournament for the students that raised $820 for the school.
• CORRAL - At this facility that uses horses to work with special needs children, volunteers landscaped the horse yard, mended fences, and set up swings. Mitsubishi donated $1,545 to the facility.

In addition Mitsubishi Electric Cooling and Heating Solutions donated Mr. Slim air conditioners to two Atlanta senior citizens who had never had air conditioning in their homes, teamed up with Senior Citizen Services (SCS) to help homeowners over the age of 60 who are unable to perform, obtain, or afford certain repairs on their homes; and provided product training to Southface, an Atlanta-based non-profit that builds sustainable homes and buildings.
