Community Involvement

Gewalt Hamilton employees volunteer their time to act as Board Members or Trustees of various local government agencies. We support and encourage our employees to lead by example and make a difference through volunteer services in the communities in which we work and live. While listed here are several of our biggest efforts, countless hours and commitment are poured into the local community by our employees every year.

With so many worthy charitable causes in need of support, we strive to align community involvement with our core values. Employees are encouraged to donate monetary values to organizations of their choice that directly affect them and Gewalt Hamilton matches the donation.
