PECO Pallet is passionate about giving back to the community! Our employees are active throughout the year in volunteer service projects across the U.S. and Canada.
In December 2021 the PECO Pallet Canada team donated both money and our time to Holiday Helpers Canada, a charity that provides Christmas gifts to low-income families with young children. We worked in the warehouse preparing and wrapping packages and then got to deliver gifts to families. It was wonderful to bring them some joy and encouragement during the holiday season!
In June and July 2021, PECO Pallet provided free COVID-19 vaccination clinics at our Chicago, IL and Columbus, OH depot locations. These clinics were open to PECO employees, families, and local residents.
Congratulations to our Chicago and Columbus teams for representing one of our organization’s core values: Safety. We're proud to partner with our local communities to stop the spread of COVID.

PECO employees had an awesome experience participating in a “Week of Motion” to benefit Home for Our Troops. This event provided a great avenue for us to stay actively engaged in our Company Values, staying fit and active as a family, providing a challenge for those up for it with the 4X4X48, and most importantly giving back to those who served. Doing all this during this challenging time with COVID provided a much-needed team building outlet for PECO as well, which added to the overall fun and excitement throughout the week.
