Lufkin, Texas Employees Donate Shoes to Lufkin ISD

August 27, 2013 - Consolidated Communications employees recently donated 13 pairs of new shoes and money for additional purchases to the Lufkin Independent School District for distribution to students.

The Consolidated Communications Spirit Team hosted an employee pancake breakfast and asked for employees to either donate new pairs of shoes or cash. A raffle added to the donations and helped the group raise almost $267 to purchase additional shoes.

Tonja Akridge, a social worker with the Lufkin ISD, accepted the shoes from the company. 

Lufkin Spirit Team member Wendy Williams made the donation and thanked the Lufkin employees who participated in the annual drive and helped make it a success through shoe donations or monetary donations.  “I am so happy to be able to help students with this donation and proud of our employees for their generous donations,” she said. “We hope these donations made a great start to the school year for some of our students in need.”

Consolidated Communications’ Spirit Teams host quarterly events for employees and are dedicated to supporting community efforts and encouraging fellowship among employees.
