Employees at Express Employment Professionals International Headquarters annually participate in The Salvation Army's Angel Tree program as a way to help children and thank the founders of the company. This year, Express employees donated gifts for 250 angels and silver bells.
"It has become a tradition at Express to participate in the Angel Tree program," said Ashley Codopony, co-president of the Express fun committee. "We present these donations to our founders Bob Funk and Bill Stoller as our gift to them, and then the gifts are donated to The Salvation Army."
In addition to the Angel Tree and Silver Bells gifts, the Express philanthropic committee was in the Christmas spirit and matched donations employees made, which resulted in a $12,500 donation.
The Salvation Army's Angel Tree program makes sure gifts are given to children and seniors who would not otherwise have presents at Christmastime.
"We are thankful for our partnership with Express Employment Professionals and we consider Express one of our Champion partners," said Major Charlotte Gargis, associate area commander of The Salvation Army, Central Oklahoma. "Their employees do a tremendous job in helping others enjoy Christmas."
