In the spirit of the season, every year the HR Department at Clow Valve contacts the Southeast Iowa Economic Development Agency (SIEDA) to get a list of children in Mahaska County that might not receive much or anything at all for Christmas. Clow Team Members volunteer to buy a gift for one or more children on the list and then drop off brightly wrapped gifts in the HR Department.
This year, Clow team members donated gifts for 30 different children in Mahaska County! So many families just can’t afford presents this Christmas and the Clow team is proud to help out by making sure their children have at least one present under the tree to open on Christmas morning. Christmas is, after all, the season for giving.
