Melville, NY H2M architects + engineers (H2M) made donations totaling $50,000 to four well-deserving, community-based charities. H2M’s commitment to communities extends far beyond the project job site. Their social responsibility lies not just in preserving and protecting resources, but in assisting the individuals in the surrounding communities that they work and live in.

H2M began this new year with a virtual gathering where they presented donation checks to four special charities:

  • The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP);
  • Homeless Solutions, Inc.;
  • Long Island Cares, Inc., and
  • Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Each year, H2M is heavily involved with philanthropic groups and takes pride in their long history of giving back. Whether it’s on a corporate scale, or an individual employee level, H2M understands the importance of making community service a priority.  While there are usually a number of charity events to show support throughout the year, 2020 proved to be a little different.

Unfortunately, living through a pandemic has created hardships for many – businesses and people, alike.  The organizations and charities that were once able to fully support those in need are also struggling from a lack of funding.  This continuous circle of strife can be extremely disheartening and the request for assistance only grows from all ends.
