Paul Davis Restoration business units throughout North America set aside time, extend personal expertise, and provide financial support to needy local causes. In addition to these locally focused efforts, throughout 2024 we have proudly provided sponsorship to the American Red Cross. This Red Cross partnership includes volunteer work for ‘Sound the Alarm’ events that install free smoke alarm detectors for enhanced community safety. More so, we participate in local Red Cross blood drives that help ensure a stable nationwide blood supply. Our overriding goal is to make a meaningful impact in communities we serve nationwide and to create positive change in the lives of those in need.
Paul Davis Businesses of San Diego, California Unite
Early in 2024 employees of three Paul Davis Restoration companies put their heads together with their local Red Cross affiliate to launch programs to attract more blood donors in neighborhoods surrounding their businesses. These three Paul Davis business operations located in San Diego, California participated: Paul Davis Restoration North County, Paul Davis Restoration South County and Paul Davis Restoration Central San Diego County. They all participated in April in their first blood drive that took place at American Red Cross San Diego headquarters. Later, Paul Davis employees organized and promoted their second blood drive event which was held in Paul Davis offices. Laura Soto, Paul Davis Client Success Manager explains, “We invited local residents to the blood drives in April, and in September and now a third drive is being scheduled soon. Our first blood drive exceeded expectations. Several of the blood donors were also first-time donors, an especially welcomed group.” Their September blood drive took place in a local school parking lot to encourage young people to become blood donors. “It’s a way for Paul Davis to give back to our community and we are dedicated to providing time, money, or blood donations as our commitment over the year and likely for years ahead, too.“
Sound The Alarm
Paul Davis Restoration San Diego businesses also work to promote installs of smoke detectors for residents. “We speak to them about fire prevention and the importance of having smoke detectors in their home,” says Soto. “It is amazing that today some people still don’t know the importance of having good, working smoke detectors to sound the alarm should a home fire start.” Joining Laura in these combined Paul Davis programs are Annette Skold and Cameo Mello, also Client Success Managers for Paul Davis San Diego businesses. “Last month’s blood drive was a hit! We’re so grateful for everyone who came out to support this important cause. Your donations help save lives every day,” adds Skold.
Every Pint Counts
Did you know that the American Red Cross collects about 40% of the nation’s blood supply? Laura, Annettee and Cameo all extend special thanks to the many residents who have donated and are part of this life-saving mission! “A big shout out to our neighboring offices for hosting these wonderful drives!”
