Community Involvement
Kiewit has always taken great pride in good stewardship, whether it be legal, ethical or social responsibilities. As a great example of this, MEC Transportation and the South Central District teamed up recently and donated $25,000 each to a local foundation in Irving, TX. This gift was significant for Irving Cares, accounting for nearly 20% of their annual corporate contributions.

Taking it to The (Food) Bank

The GBFB distributes more than 34 million pounds of food and groceries annually to approximately 550 member hunger-relief agencies and 30 Food Bank direct service programs throughout eastern Massachusetts. For more information on the GBFB visit www.gbfb.org. Thank you to all who contributed food for this worthy cause.
