Precise Employees Partner with Support Our Troops

LEXINGTON PARK, MD, February 28, 2023 – Precise Systems is proud to announce that they have collected over 160 items and over 200 total pounds of donations from multiple office locations around the country for their annual Support Our Troops Care Package Initiative.

Many of the donations included items that will be of great benefit to overseas servicemen and women, including shampoo, mouthwash, nutritious snack foods, body wipes, menstrual products, and laundry detergent. As a veteran-founded business and one that is committed to hiring active-duty members, veterans, and military spouses, Precise is grateful to have the annual opportunity to show their support for the ultimate hero – the warfighter.

Audrey Pence, a Precise Systems Human Resources Specialist, has walked through three deployments with her husband, who is a pilot in the U.S. Navy. Although she is not deployed herself, she knows just how special receiving these packages can be. She says, “Each day away from loved ones can feel more or less the same, so receiving something different and knowing that people back home are thinking about them can mean a lot!”

The company wrapped this Care Package Initiative on one of their R.E.D. Fridays, a company-wide campaign started in November to Remember Everyone Deployed. By asking employees to wear red or one of their R.E.D. branded shirts and sweatshirts, Precise can raise awareness about the demands of military life for all of those involved – both domestic and abroad.

2022 Food Drive Benefits Local Precise Communities

LEXINGTON PARK, MD, December 9, 2022 – Precise Systems employees helped collect non-perishable food items for families in need across the nation, including Southern Maryland, Odon, Indiana, and Middletown, Rhode Island. These communities are local to three of Precise Systems’ six office locations in the country.

The Maryland-based food drive benefited St. Mary’s Caring Soup Kitchen; the only full-time soup kitchen in Southern Maryland. Providing free breakfast and lunch six days a week year-round, the organization strives to create a pathway out of hunger by providing nutritional food while viewing each guest as a valued individual.

In Indiana, food collections were hand-delivered to the Dawdi Haus; a faith-based mission committed to serving the needs of communities with generosity, hope and love. Precise was more than willing to support the Dawdi Haus as inventory is solely donation-based.

The Rhode Island team’s donations benefitted the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center, which served more than 5,670 community members in Newport County in 2022 alone. The center’s community programs include hunger relief and nutrition, early childhood and extended learning time education, and overall community support.

As the coordinator of this annual food drive, the Precise Systems Charitable Contributions Committee exists to demonstrate the company’s esteemed Core Value of “Put People First”. Precise Systems is committed to providing opportunities for their employees to support the communities in which they live and work.
