Recognizing Our Community Heroes

Apr 7, 2020 | COVID-19

A hero could be defined as a person or organization that goes beyond what is normally expected of them in order to make a difference in others’ lives. The healthcare workers and first responders throughout our country are certainly heroes in the fight against COVID-19. No doubt you have heard stories or seen social media posts about other everyday people who are doing what they can to help those in need. 

At Sierra HR Partners, we want to recognize and appreciate our clients who have adapted their systems, started new programs, and found other creative ways to support our community in this challenging time. For example, Snowflake Designs, a Clovis-based manufacturer of gymnastics leotards and apparel, has shifted to sewing masks for healthcare professionals. Vino Grille & Spirits, a Fresno restaurant, is offering grocery shopping services to local residents who are not able to get to stores themselves. These examples of ingenuity and human-kindness make us even more proud to support these companies throughout the year.

If your business has shifted gears in response to Coronavirus concerns, we want to publicly recognize and appreciate YOU! 
Please send us an e-mail letting us know how you’re being a hero to our community, or have adapted your services to weather this difficult time.  We would welcome the opportunity to feature your story in upcoming newsletters.
THANK YOU so much for all you are doing. We know that your efforts are keeping your workers employed, providing vital services, and saving lives.
