Each year, Celina employees have the option to donate to the campaign through payroll deduction. The company then contributes additional funds to the drive through a percentage-based donation matching program.
Christine Purdy, Vice President of Human Resources and Facilities
“We offer a payroll deduction option for donations because it gives employees a convenient way to contribute to a worthy cause. It’s one way Celina puts its company value of making a difference in the community into action. Values are just words on a page until you act on them. We really enjoy supporting this initiative on a personal level and as a company, and it’s great to see such an enthusiastic response from staff members.”
Donations are still being accepted for the 2026 drive. To learn more or donate, visitmercercountycombinedservices.org.
