Blue Ridge and United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley “Spread the Warmth”

Lehighton, PA – Blue Ridge recently completed its “Spread the Warmth” initiative aimed at providing new winter hats and gloves to children throughout the communities we serve.
 
For every customer that added high speed internet in November, Blue Ridge donated a new hat and pair of gloves to children in need.
 
Working in conjunction with United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, one of our many community partners supporting this program, hats and gloves were distributed just in time for the holidays. “As a lifelong resident of Carbon County, I am honored to be able to be part of an organization such as United Way that has built such strong partnerships in the community which affords me the opportunity to help those in need in our County.  We are especially grateful to Blue Ridge, and their generosity, that supported the kids’ hat/glove distribution to local non-profits,” stated Marsha Macalush, Project Manager – CarbonCorps, United Way of the Great Lehigh Valley.

"I am very proud of how our organization supports the communities we serve throughout the year and our “Spread the Warmth” campaign is a great way to end 2020,” said Mark Masenheimer, VP of Operations for Blue Ridge.  “This is a “win-win” scenario; our customers get great internet service with us and by partnering with United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, we delivered new hats and gloves for hundreds of children just in time for winter. Knowing that we helped our communities in this way is pretty special.”
