Bakken Directory 2014: Quality Mat helped complete a $75,000 fundraiser

Quality Mat said June 28 that it was pleased to feature Young Life in Southeast Texas as its nonprofit organization of the month. Young Life is an organization of caring adults committed to reaching out to kids and being involved in their lives in a variety of ways. That involvement takes many forms, from attendance at sporting event or school functions, to simply being a sounding board for youth concerns.

Quality Mat helped complete a $75,000 peaches fundraiser for the Young Life organization, which purchased 170 cases of peaches to donate to local nursing homes, food banks and its own employees.

Young Life fosters a multicultural ministry that begins in middle school and can continue through a youth’s college years. By physically going out into the youth world, organization leaders work with kids in economically depressed areas, teen mothers and with developmentally disabled individuals. A weekly program called club provides kids with a socially acceptable alternative to roaming the streets on weeknights. Week-long camp program combine days of unparalleled fun along with the message of God’s unconditional love. Campaigners allow kids to grow spiritually through weekly faith study, service and leadership.

Without the work of dedicated adults, Young Life’s work would not occur. As a manufacturer of quality construction mats, Quality Mat Co. believes wholeheartedly in supporting the work of organizations that give youth strong foundations for the future.
