Employee participation in this year’s campaign increased by 71%! 

This donation is yet another example of why I am so proud to work for and with the people of Simmons. The culture of giving back to the community you live in starts with Mark and Todd Simmons and it’s inspiring to be part of the Simmons organization. I am extremely proud of the Emporia team and all that they do for the Emporia community and surrounding areas.

We are absolutely impressed and humbled by the tremendous support the United Way campaign has received from Simmons Pet Food. It is obvious the company has a strong culture of giving back and supporting others, and this year’s campaign shows that Simmons Pet Food has become an important leader in our community. We are grateful for the support of the company and all of the employees who make our work possible.
