New-Indy donates to Toys for Tots

During the holiday season, New-Indy Catawba partnered with the United Steelworkers union to contribute to a Toys for Tots United Steelworkers-led fundraiser. The event auctioned two footballs signed by the University of South Carolina and Clemson teams. New-Indy matched the auction price, resulting in a $1,000 donation. Contributions to Toys for Tots help bring the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to America's less fortunate children.

Employee Donation Event

New-Indy employees spread holiday cheer

New-Indy Catawba used a year-end event to thank employees by giving them each a turkey and cake from The Honey Baked Ham Company.

More than 50 employees donated their turkeys to Rock Hill’s Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen, which gives personal hygiene products, scarves, gloves and groceries to the needy. Dorothy Day Soup Kitchen relies on contributions from individuals, groups and businesses from the community.

Community Engagement Group

The Southeastern forestry industry plants five times as many trees as it harvests.

New-Indy supports sustainable forestry

The forestry industry of South Carolina has a $23.2 billion impact on the economy and supports more than 100,000 jobs. Forests also play a vital role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through carbon sequestration and carbon storage. December’s Community Engagement Group meeting featured a presentation on sustainable forestry and its benefits to the environment. Growing trees in U.S. forests annually pulls 1,581 metric tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, almost as much as annual U.S. emissions generated from burning fossil fuels for electricity.

In 2021, 88,676 log loads were delivered to New-Indy Catawba harvested from South Carolina (94%), North Carolina (6%) and Georgia (.2%). New-Indy supports sustainable forestry, which includes the practice of planting more trees than are harvested. As a result, there are more trees in South Carolina today than 100 years ago.
