Through the lens of an Employee Campaign Coordinator

Crane Currency has a long history of giving back to the community in many ways, including supporting the volunteer efforts of our employees through our Crane in the Community Program. The Berkshire United Way Workplace campaign has been a great way to expand Crane’s reach into the community.

In my role as an Employee Campaign Coordinator (ECC) at Crane Currency, I lead a team of individuals dedicated to managing our annual campaign by planning fun events and helping employees pledge their annual donations to Berkshire United Way.

Volunteering as an ECC has given me the opportunity to learn how Berkshire United Way supports programs right here in Berkshire County that help youth, teenagers, and families. In my role as Crane’s ECC, I can share this information with my coworkers to help them understand just how impactful their donations are when they pledge through our workplace campaign. It is exciting to work with new donors, walking them through the process of pledging and showing them the range of programs and initiatives their pledges benefit, ultimately impacting more than 15,000 people right here in Berkshire County.

Crane Currency employees gather for a photo at the Live United Community Celebration on April 28, 2017.  Employee Campaign Coordinators, Sandy Streeter and Hannah DeLisle Stall were nominated for the JCPenney Employee Campaign Coordinator Award, presented at the event.

In addition to furthering Berkshire United Way’s efforts, the campaign also provides a great way for employees to learn about services and programs that are in action here in our community. With this information, many of our donors go on to refer friends or loved ones to Berkshire United Way-supported programs, or are sparked to volunteer their own time at events and with initiatives they learned about through our United Way campaign.

Working with ePledge, the electronic pledging system, makes pledging easy, and allows me to track progress toward our goal of increasing campaign participation each year. As part of Crane Currency’s campaign, we have raffles and prizes for donors each year, which our employees always look forward to. The Berkshire United Way Campaign is a fun time of the year here at Crane, and I am so proud to work for an organization that is so supportive of our community and Berkshire United Way.
