Social Responsibility
Supporting Communities and Causes
Michels demonstrates our responsibility as a strong corporate citizen by investing in the communities where we live and work. Our roots have spread far beyond the small, rural town where we were established, but our pride in the places we call home remains as strong today as it was in 1959. In addition to building projects to improve lives, Michels is committed to building strong communities in other ways. We actively give back to local communities, regions and national causes by providing financial contributions, donations and volunteer support.
