Axea in Action

Axea Solutions is committed to helping the community and supporting charitable organizations to help make a difference through awareness, donations, and team volunteer projects.

Axea's Founder and CEO, Susan Gatehouse, is particularly passionate about giving back and helping those that are most vulnerable and has developed partnerships with several different local and national charities. This passion for helping others has expanded into companywide, employee volunteer endeavors, establishing a corporate culture of taking action through volunteer work, and giving back.

GIVING BACK — TAKING TIME TO HELP OTHERS DURING A CRISIS

Axea’s employees have a long history of giving back, and we’re especially proud of our employees who have served their communities during the coronavirus pandemic. Many Axea team members have been giving back by donated blood, delivering much-needed meals for first responders, and providing various necessities to those in need during this difficult time.

When a local community help center asked if anyone could donate items for children’s lunchboxes to help provide food at several locations throughout the community, Joletta Pekari, Director of Human Resources and Employee Engagement at Axea, jumped into action! Reusing company-branded lunch coolers, Axea happily provided the healthy food items requested; and Joletta (with help from family!) packed them all and delivered for distribution ─ serving hundreds of children in the community!

This is just one example of the compassionate and innovative ways Axea and our employees are making a difference! The organizational values of service and humility, and support provided for charitable initiatives, help shape a work environment that gives our employees a sense of belonging and unity.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to be of service and to work for an organization that supports these values and is committed to helping others.” - Joletta Pekari, Director of HR and Employee Engagement

WORKING, WALKING TOGETHER — GOING THE DISTANCE TO SUPPORT AN IMPORTANT CAUSE

Axea spearheaded fundraising efforts to help support Street Grace, a national non-profit that mobilizes communities to eradicate the commercial sexual exploitation of children. The team participated in a local 5K, Demand an End, and helped prepare the charity event’s race-bags for volunteers and participants. With the support and generous contributions from employees, industry partners and friends, Axea was able to triple this year’s fundraising goals!

HELPING TO BRIGHTEN THE HOLIDAY FOR SENIOR CITIZENS

Axea Solutions supports The Place Of Forsyth County, an organization that assists people of the Forsyth County, Georgia area with essential needs and to be self-sustaining. In addition to providing financial support and volunteer hours for the group’s Annual Holiday House, the Axea team organized a wreath-making event during the company’s annual meeting. The wreaths were delivered to many of the wonderful senior citizens supported by The Place on a regular basis.

HYGIENE BAGS FOR DAWSON COUNTY, GA

Our team packed hygiene bags for students. Dawson County Schools serves over 3,500 students, many of whom don’t have basic hygiene items. By providing hygiene items, students can have confidence to focus on learning instead of being worried about their hygiene.

BLESSING BAGS FOR STREET GRACE

Our team packed Blessing Bags for Street Grace, an organization fighting to end Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking. We packed 100 bags with meals, snacks, water and juice to help children that would not have food during school holiday breaks. Read more about Street Grace or see how you can get involved.
