Delta Faucet Company

This Thanksgiving, we pause to reflect on our employees' incredible passion, creativity, and hard work. We are grateful for your contributions. As you gather with family, friends, and loved ones tomorrow, we wish you a holiday filled with warmth and laughter. Happy Thanksgiving!

Last week’s?Greater Indy Habitat for Humanity?home blessing represented a significant milestone, as it officially marked?Delta Faucet Company’s 25th year partnership?with the organization. The 2024 build kicked off with over 100 volunteers on June 6 at our “Day of Service” panel build in the parking lot at global headquarters. Finished panels were then transported to the site of the Hall family home, and after five months, the construction of the house is now complete. ? “The 25th Delta Faucet Company home blessing represents countless volunteer hours, product donations and financial support to enhance Habitat for Humanity homes," says Jill Ehnes, President at Delta Faucet Company. "Our partnership has provided meaningful opportunities for our employees to make a positive, lasting impact on new homeowners as wells as within the community."?Thank you to all of our employees that were a part of this year’s build, as wells as to those who have contributed throughout the years – we appreciate you.

We are honored to share that yesterday, at the Indiana Philanthropy Awards Celebration hosted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Indiana Chapter (AFP-IC), we received an Outstanding Business/Corporation Award. The annual?luncheon and awards ceremony recognizes "individuals, groups, organizations, and corporations in Indiana who have enhanced philanthropy and the community through their dedicated efforts, time, leadership, passion, and generosity." Nominated by Firefly Children & Family Alliance, the acceptance of this award is on behalf of our employees, who continuously reflect our strong commitment to community engagement through financial support, volunteer efforts and donations.?Congratulations?to all of this year's award recipients for having such a positive impact on others. If you were in attendance, please mention the company or organization you represented!

Our employees are passionate about helping others, especially around the holidays. For example, our Women in Leadership (WiL) employee network organized a Coburn Place Thanksgiving Meal Kit Build at global headquarters, and wow, volunteers stepped up to help make it happen. Whether it was by unloading donated grocery items, setting up kit stations, assembling the contents or preparing for delivery, the group completed kits that will be distributed to 75 families. Coburn Place Safe Haven offers compassionate support and safe housing choices to survivors of domestic violence and their children in the Greater Indianapolis area.

In honor of Veteran's Day, we are mindful of those who have served in the U.S. armed forces, and privileged to work with veterans who are also employees, family members, customers and business partners. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your service and dedication. If you are a veteran, please share your branch of service below.

Our employees, friends and family members gathered last week for a "gourdgeous" outing at Newfields a Place for Nature & The Arts for Harvest Nights, sponsored by our Working Parents Community (WPC). From the mystery of Mischief Manor to the foggy thrills of the Pumpkin Path of Peril (featuring tens of thousands of pumpkins), it was a night filled with fall fun and friendly spirits. Some even felt the Ghost Train rumble beneath their feet! “It was the perfect family-friendly activity to enjoy with our Delta Faucet Company team," says Gretchen Metallic Bankert, Associate Account Manager. "My sons especially loved running around with the other kids and seeing all the jack-o'-lanterns!” A big thank you to everyone who made this outing a night to remember. If you attended this year, please share your photos in the comments section. Here's to more team adventures and festive memories!

"They're creepy and they're kooky / Mysterious and spooky / They're all together ooky ..." Our Industrial Designers fully embraced their “ooky” side for Halloween by transforming into none other than the Addams Family. Known for crafting imaginative, top-secret costumes, they took it to a whole new level with this year’s eerie ensemble. Are you dressing up today? Whether it's spooky, kooky, or clever, we’d love to see. Share a pic of your costume in the comments—or let us know which Addams Family character you'd most want to be!

We’re driven by a passion for supporting our local communities - especially when it comes to helping future generations thrive. Recently, our team in Morgantown, Kentucky, seized the opportunity to make a lasting impact by donating $8,000 to Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College (SKYCTC). This contribution will empower high school students to enroll in dual-credit courses, allowing them to earn both high school and college credits. “Our commitment to education and building a skilled workforce is unwavering,” said Teresa Montgomery, People Operations Manager. “We’re proud to help pave the way for tomorrow’s leaders.” A huge thank you to our Morgantown team for making this initiative a reality, and best of luck to the students and teachers in this incredible program. Together, we’re shaping the future!

We are so proud of Caitlin Smarrelli, who serves on the Firefly Children & Family Alliance Board of Directors. Last month, she played a key role at The Family Table, a special gathering in support of the organization's mission. We hope you'll take a look at this video highlighting the event and featuring her own words. We appreciate you, Caitlin, and well done!
