Serving a Mission Greater Than Us

Like many successful companies, we believe in giving back to the community. Our company began when our CEO met his wife, who graduated from The Sisters of Mary School. If it weren't for her attending the school, they would not have met. Every year, The Sisters of Mary School visits underprivileged communities to search for deserving students.

The students live on campus the entire school year with access to high-quality education and vocational courses for a chance to bridge opportunities and hope. No one at The Sisters of Mary School earns a salary. The nuns do their work voluntarily. These selfless acts motivate us to support their causes through donations from our earnings.
