Habitat for Humanity -
For over 25 years, Habitat for Humanity has helped low-income families achieve their dreams of having a place to call home. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and help of the homeowner, partner families, local corporations, and many volunteers Habitat for Humanity is able to assist in making these dreams come true. Habitat houses are sold to the families at no profit and financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build even more Habitat houses.

In the fall/winter of 2003 and 2005, hundreds of Resurgent employees gave their time, energy and talent to build two homes, complete with landscaping, in Travelers Rest, South Carolina. Resurgent also contributed money to buy supplies and various furnishings for the house. In addition, employees held fundraisers and provided individual donatinos and the company responded with a corporate matching gift. Thesefunds were used specifically to equip the homes with essentials -- a range, garbage disposal, dishwasher, ceiling fans, washer and dryer, microwave, cookware, linens and non-perishable food items.

Our next home will be built in 2007!

Hands On Greenville -
Each year, employees dedicate their time and service for Hands on Greenville (HOG) Day. HOG Day is Greenville's only “volunteer-a-thon” in which 2,000+ volunteers revitalize and repair schools, community centers, soup kitchens and parks that many people depend on in Greenville and surrounding areas. Resurgent employees form an annual team to participate and reap the benefits of teamwork, camaraderie and the feeling of making a difference.

Adopt a Child for Christmas and Toys for Tots
Each Christmas season, we fulfill the hopes and dreams of nearly 100 children and their families by supplying gifts that otherwise may not be received. Resurgent worked with various organizations and children's homes to determine children in need. We also participated in Toys for Tots last year, filling several barrels with toys.

We have the opportunity to play Santa each year through our involvement with Safe Harbor, Center for Developmental Services (CDS), New Foundations, Greenville Area Interfaith Hospitality Network, and Church of God Children's Home. In most instances, our gifts are given to children ranging from 3-18 years of age.

During the holiday season Resurgent associates raise money for, purchase, gift wrap and deliver toys to needy area children.

Ronald McDonald House -
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati provides a supportive "home away from home" for families and their children from all over the world who are receiving treatment at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center or other area hospitals, regardless of their ability to pay.

The House provides a comfortable place where families can sleep, eat home-cooked meals and meet others facing similar situations and offer support to one another during difficult times. It is supported by generous individuals, McDonald's owner/operators, local businesses, civic groups, foundations, and a large, caring group of volunteers.

Resurgent’s IT group has had the pleasure of serving two dinners and is scheduled for a third to help give those who are staying at the Ronald McDonald House a good meal without having to leave the facility. A total of 45 employees, family and friends have volunteered to make these dinners a success. Many recipients had wonderful things to say about our efforts and we enjoyed the chance to give back to the community!

Stepping Stones Center -
The mission of Stepping Stones Center is to provide opportunities for children and adults of all ages with disabilities which increase independence and promote inclusion within the community.

Stepping Stones Center is a non-profit United Way agency that serves over 1,100 persons with disabilities each year.

Resurgent IT had a great time planning and facilitating the Independence Day Picnic at Stepping Stones. We decorated the picnic area, provided the food for the picnic and assisted with the cooking and serving. The weather cooperated and a great time was had by everyone involved. Many staff and families of those served by Stepping Stones stated that this was the best picnic ever and extended their appreciation to Resurgent and all the individuals involved.
