Children’s Home Society

Tri-City Electrical Contractors, Inc. is proud to be a strong advocate for abused and neglected children in our community through our continued support of the Central Florida Division of the Children’s Home Society of Florida.  Employees have participated in the CHS Annual Toy Drive since 2003, donating over 3,500 toys and nearly $5,000 in cash and gift cards.  Since CHS started its Annual School Supplies Drive in 2005, Tri-City has purchased backpacks, and our employees fill them with supplies, donating more than 500 fully stocked backpacks, as well as additional school supplies.  Employees and their relatives volunteer for the organization, as well.  The Company donates time, material, and financial support to the organization in times of need.  Tri-City President Jack A. Olmstead has served on the CHS Board of Directors and has previously been named Board Member of the Year.

Inspire of Central Florida

In 2017, Tri-City and our employees continued to take a special interest in Inspire (formerly Seminole Work Opportunity Program-SWOP), which provides employment opportunities and life skills training for adults with developmental disabilities in Central Florida. Inspire assists these uniquely abled adults to live, work and succeed in the community.  Tri-City employees “adopted” the clients of Inspire for Christmas. Wish lists were compiled and sent to Tri-City.  75 clients were “adopted” by an angel, and their individual wish lists were fulfilled.  Each client was given a personalized gift bag containing items from their wish list; for some, these were the only gifts they received.  In addition to providing new lighting for the Inspire facility, Tri-City is also a corporate sponsor of their annual golf tournament and Masks and Martinis event.  As a Company, we believe in Inspire and their efforts on behalf of this group of earnest individuals who want to contribute to society.  If you are interested in helping, please check out their website, www.inspireofcentralflorida.org, to learn how you can become involved.

 

Life Path Hospice

Tri-City is proud to support Lifepath Hospice in Hillsborough County.  The Company sponsors children to attend the Camp Circle of Love – a three-day retreat for children ages 6 to 16, who have experienced the death of a loved one and features fun camp activities and allows children to discover how much life still has to offer.  Tri-City also helps to sponsor Island Night, which is the organization’s major annual fund-raising event.
