Janotta & Herner’s Christmas in July gives $5,000 to area United Ways
The employee-owned Monroeville contractor's seventh annual donation went to 10 United Way chapters during the summer giving lull.
Janotta & Herner, an employee-owned design-build contractor in Monroeville, held its seventh annual Christmas in July on July 29, donating $5,000 to 10 United Way chapters in its operating area.
“We are very happy to be able to continue a program that helps the communities that have supported us for so many years,” said Seth Herrnstein, the company’s executive director of business development. Each chapter uses the money to supplement existing programs or start new ones.
Pat DeMonte, director of the Tiffin-Seneca United Way, said the money means a lot to summer programs because giving is usually low then. Directors at the event said need has grown in recent years, and more people who used to give are now asking for help. The company encouraged other local businesses to start similar programs.
