Community Investment

Adopt A Family

For the holidays in 2008, SanMar employees set out to adopt three needy families in the Issaquah region and to provide them with holiday gifts and necessities. Because of the overwhelming support shown by employees, the company was actually able to adopt and provide for 11 families—a total of 37 people, age 7 to 92.

Puget Sound Blood Center

SanMar hosts the Puget Sound Blood Center drive at least twice a year, encouraging all employees to donate blood. SanMar has been hosting the drive for many years.
