Alcoa Local Safety Program Raises $10,000 for Toys for Tots

Alcoa's Mt. Holly plant tackled both safety and community service in a recent toy drive at the plant, just outside of Goose Creek.

Company employees helped raise $10,000 for the local Toys for Tots program, but the unique fundraiser wasn't about raising money, but about focusing on safety. 

Beginning Nov. 1, employees who demonstrated safe workplace actions and showed leadership in plant safety were recognized with a $5-$15 plant contribution to a toy fund. The plant also contributed to the toy fund on behalf of employees who submitted healthy recipes for an Alcoa cookbook.

"Nothing is more important than workplace safety, and this program helps us retain our focus on safety both at work and at home during the distractions of the holidays," said Mike Rousseau, Plant Manager. "We're proud of this annual event that links an important business initiative with a community need."
