Eaton Employee’s Donate to Holiday Hearts for Kids

[December 15, 2023]   Each year, the Eaton Corporation gives each employee a gift to celebrate the Holiday Season. In preparation for the new gift, they offer extra items from the previous year for sale to their employees with proceeds going to CAPCIL’s Holiday Hearts for Kids Campaign.

The donation was accepted by CAPCILs Chief Visionary Officer, Breann Titus, Community and Personal Development Director, Dea Welsh, and CSBG Small Business Coalition Coordinator, Heather Cosby at the Eaton Plant in Lincoln. The donation came in the form of $2,085 in cash and will provide gifts for 42 children. Plant Manager, Dave Clarkson said, “We are so thankful for what you do in the community and are excited to be able to make this donation.”

Donations were collected for Holiday Hearts for Kids through December 4, 2023, with a total of 81 children receiving gifts this year. Gifts are purchased by CAPCIL staff, wrapped by volunteers, and delivered by staff to families in time for Christmas. Once a family is nominated for Holiday Hearts for kids, a gift for each child (up to age 15) in the family receives a gift ($50 value).

Eaton is also a member of CAPCIL’s CSBG (Community Services Block Grant) Small Business Coalition as an affiliate member. Affiliate members help support our small business community, have access to networking opportunities and resources through the coalition program. Eligible employees of the Affiliate members also have access to CAPCIL’s CSBG Scholarships.
