Community
At Work in Our Communities
Community is a core part of SAM’s foundation
SAM was built upon a foundation of service, and that responsibility extends beyond serving our clients to serving our communities. In fact, Community is one of SAM’s Core Values, and we’ve made a top-down commitment to give back to our local communities and make them better places to live, work and grow.
Corporate responsibility
SAM believes sustainability is our civic responsibility. That’s why we implement sustainable business practices that balance economic, environmental, and social responsibilities—while meeting the needs of our clients and communities.
Working for our Communities
Employee engagement
Our employees are passionate about improving their communities, and SAM is eager to help. We support a wide variety of programs, including the Ronald McDonald House, Coats for Kids, SAM Cans Hunger, the Wounded Warrior Project, and many more. Whether through donation matching or volunteerism, we encourage community involvement at every level of our organization.
Educational support
At SAM, we believe that educating tomorrow’s leaders is crucial to the future of our industry and our nation. To this end, we support educational programs across the country through financial and equipment contributions.
Here are just some of the ways we’ve helped students in our communities:
- SAM supports Communities in Schools of Central Texas, a youth public service program that conducts initiatives such as XY-Zone, Food for Thought, and Job Shadow Day.
- We support Urban League adult education programs that help students prepare for their GED exam and complete a high school education.
- Our staff has mentored countless young minds. Several SAM managers teach at local community colleges.
- We have established scholarships and grants for university-level surveying students.
- Through the annual Sam G. Hanna Honorary Scholarship, named for the company’s founder, SAM helps employees’ dependents meet their educational goals.
