Habitat for Humanity:

For over 25 years, Habitat for Humanity has helped low-income families achieve their dreams of having a place to call home. Through volunteer labor, donations of money and help of the homeowner, partner families, local corporations, and many volunteers, Habitat for Humanity is able to assist in making these dreams come true. Habitat houses are sold to the families at no profit and financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build even more Habitat houses.

Hundreds of Resurgent employees have come together since 2003 to help build homes through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity. By giving their time, energy, and talent they have built three homes, complete with landscaping, in Travelers Rest and Greenville, South Carolina. Resurgent generously contributes the cost of the materials to build the homes and through various fundraising efforts by the Humanitarian Council we have been able to equip the homes with essentials such as appliances, ceiling fans, household goods, microwaves, cookware, linens and non-perishable food items.

We look forward to building our next home in 2009!

United Way:

Resurgent began an aggressive fund-raising campaign in 2007 for The United Way of Greenville, setting a goal of $61,659.40.  As a Pacesetter, Resurgent ran its workplace campaign early, to get the Greenville campaign off to a running start and to challenge other companies to participate in workplace campaigns.  However, it wasn’t all work and no play; fundraising events included a carnival, ping-pong tournament, prizes, and incentives which helped to garner an unprecedented amount of employee pledges.  The hard work of the 2007 Campaign Team coupled with generous giving and genuine employee dedication shattered the goal, raising a total of $72,238.83.  Although Resurgent received 4 awards for its excellent service and fund-raising success, the greatest reward was knowing that a positive impact was made on the lives of residents in the Greenville community.

Meals on Wheels: 

Resurgent Capital Services has partnered with Meals on Wheels of Greenville to enhance the quality of life of homebound individuals by providing nutritious meals, personal contact, and related services. Nearly 30 employees volunteer their time every week to deliver meals to individuals living in Greenville.  Although Resurgent is only one of many corporate partners, the lives touched are individual, and each delivery is a unique expression of Resurgent’s ability and desire to make a difference.

Adopt a Child for Christmas and Toys for Tots:

Each Christmas season, Greenville employees fulfill the hopes and dreams of nearly 100 children and their families by supplying gifts that otherwise may not be received. In 2007 we added the Adopt a Soldier program and were able to send care packages with personalized notes to more than 30 soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.  These programs are supported solely by the donations from our Resurgent employees who ‘adopt’ a child or a family and then work together to fill the ‘wish list’ that we have received from the agencies that we partner with each year. We have had the opportunity to play Santa each year through our involvement with Safe Harbor, Center for Developmental Services (CDS), New Foundations, Greenville Area Interfaith Hospitality Network, and Church of God Children's Home. In most instances, our gifts are given to children ranging from 3 -18 years of age.

Employees in our Sioux Falls site work with the Salvation Army Angel Tree program to sponsor children by shopping for gifts on their wish list.

Necco:  Necco is a private childcare agency dedicated to improving the quality of life for children.  Their 40 years of experience ensures the children we help receive everything they deserve.   They serve abused and neglected children of all ages in the custody of child welfare and juvenile justice agencies in the states of Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia.   For several years Necco has placed a ‘giving tree’ on-site at the Resurgent office and employees take a gift tag and provide a holiday gift to a child in need.   Each year there has been an overwhelming response from the employees usually requiring that the tree be restocked with tags during the event.

Ronald McDonald House:
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati provides a supportive ‘home away from home’ for families and their children from all over the world who are receiving treatment at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center or other area hospitals, regardless of their ability to pay.

The House provides a comfortable place where families can sleep, eat home-cooked meals, and meet others facing similar situations and offer support to one another during difficult times. It is supported by generous individuals, McDonald's owner/operators, local businesses, civic groups, foundations, and a large, caring group of volunteers.

Since 2005, Resurgent’s IT group has had the pleasure of providing and serving meals to those staying at the Ronald McDonald House.   The team provides an average of 3 meals yearly which gives those staying at the facility a good meal without having to leave the premises. Many recipients have wonderful things to say about our efforts and we enjoy the chance to give back to the community!

Stepping Stones Center:
The mission of Stepping Stones Center in Cincinnati is to provide opportunities for children and adults of all ages with disabilities.  The organization seeks to increase participant’s independence and promote inclusion within the community.

Stepping Stones Center is a non-profit United Way agency that serves over 1,100 persons with disabilities each year.

For several years the Resurgent Information Technology group has been a primary sponsor of the annual Independence Day Picnic at Stepping Stones.  This involves decorating the picnic area, providing the food for the picnic, assisting with the cooking, and serving the meal.  The staff, campers, and their families have always been most appreciative of our contribution to making the picnic successful.   We’ve repeatedly received comments that the picnic is the best one ever.
