THE HG2 SPOTLIGHT

The most wonderful time of the year for some is the worst for others. With the rising cost of living and the inevitability of reoccurring bills, the holiday season can be rough for families who already struggle to make ends meet. With the help of generous efforts nationwide, there are plenty of reasons to be thankful this Thanksgiving.

This year, HG2 Emergency Lighting decided to give back in support of their home city Orlando, Florida. Partnering with the community in support of the 20th Annual Thanksgiving Basket Brigade of Central Florida, HG2 Emergency Lighting aimed to feed the local families in need this Thanksgiving. Setting up donation drop-offs at their three Central Florida manufacturing locations, along with an online GoFundMe, HG2 Emergency Lighting matched every donation received.

Queue the spotlight! HG2’s own Public Relations Specialist, Nadia Abed, UCF senior and pre-law major, went above and beyond the charitable call of duty. Involving her sorority Kappa Delta at the University of Central Florida, she not only raised the most monetary donations towards the cause but collected the most food donations for the event as well. When asked about what made her so passionate about this philanthropy she stated,

“I’m so passionate about philanthropy and charitable events because giving back to the community isn’t something that people should ignore. It should bring us together and make us want to better ourselves and the people around us. I love it because it makes others feel good, & I’m always willing to help.”

Whether it’s volunteering at a soup kitchen or simply donating a dollar to a cause, this time of year is all about gratitude, thanks, and giving.

From our family at HG2 Emergency Lighting to yours, have a Happy Thanksgiving.
