Eric Pauline, husband of Karmak's Director of Office Services Angela Pauline, built a sleigh that Karmak employees and community members filled with donations.
"I am proud to work at a company that gives back, and we are grateful to be able to provide items to the local schools," says Karmak President and CEO Jim Allen. "No one knows better than a teacher when a child needs new shoes, sweats or a pair of socks tucked in their backpack."
Donors were greeted with hot chocolate and candy canes from Santa and Mrs. Claus, and Elsa, Olaf and the Grinch were also on hand.
"Good people doing good things, selflessly serving others and doing so with joyful hearts. It's a beautiful thing and I am humbled by everyone's generosity of time, money and support," Allen says. "These items will make an absolute difference to some folks in need."
In 2023, Karmak also donated to the Carlinville Football Club, the Macoupin County CEO Program and Project Third Day.
