Honoring a Legacy of Caring.

As a part of our 100th anniversary, we honored the legacy of Charles Luck III and his passion for serving others.

Charles Luck III was known for creating personal connections with everyone he met and for his care and compassion for people. During his leadership of the company, he inspired a culture of giving that is still an important part of Luck Companies today.

He coined the company slogan “We Care” to illustrate our company- wide commitment to serving customers and giving back to the communities where we operate.

We honored this formative period in our history by celebrating Charles Luck III’s legacy and the “We Care” slogan of our past by encouraging teams to identify a volunteer opportunity and give their time and talent to an organization in their region. We sent all of our associates “We Care” branded t-shirts and asked them to wear them proudly during their time serving the community.

“It was inspiring to see our teams sharing their time and talents to support neighbors and community-focused organizations across our footprint. ‘We Care’ is one more way our associates are living out our mission of positively impacting others each day.”

Nourishing the Community in Charlottesville

The “We Care” call to give back inspired our team at our Charlottesville Plant in Charlottesville, Virginia to give back to their community by volunteering weekly at their local Meals on Wheels. Ed Honeycutt, Foreman at the Charlottesville Plant, proposed the idea when he heard that the organization needed help packing meals on Tuesdays. The team had worked with Meals on Wheels a few years prior, and there was a lot of enthusiasm for renewing their support of an important community resource.

“The Meals on Wheels staff enjoys having our Luck Stone team volunteers each week,” Ed said. “We work hard, but we also have a good time while we are giving back. It is nice to know our contributions are making a positive difference in our own community.”

In addition to its weekly commitment, the team also helped prepare gift bags for the Christmas holiday. The goal was for everyone who received a meal also to receive a gift bag.

“I think everyone comes back a little more thankful each time we volunteer, “ Ed said. “I am blessed to be a part of a great team.”

Our finance team partnered with the Richmond ToolBank, an organization with a mission to provide tools, equipment, and expertise to community-based organizations. The team stepped out of their day-to-day roles and worked together to build picnic tables to donate to local schools to help bring the ToolBank’s mission to life.

Mount Airy’s Operations, Sales, and COM-D teams came together to help The Salvation Army with its Christmas Angel Tree program.

The Mount Airy team collected donations from associates and bought the items to help Santa check off the children’s lists.
