COMMUNITY IMPACT

Over the past century, Miron Construction has grown alongside the communities in which we live and work. We embrace the importance of giving back and encourage all of our employees to get involved in their communities, assist their neighbors in need, and better the world by utilizing their unique interests and talents.

As a company, we provide support in many ways, from sponsorships and donations to in-kind services. We are proud to play an active role in our communities by contributing to projects that make them wonderful places in which to raise families, find meaningful work, and enjoy local entertainment and recreational activities.

As we’ve entered new communities, cultivated relationships, and grown as an organization, we have an even stronger sense of appreciation for the places we call home. We continually invest in the people, neighborhoods, and non-profit organizations that have given us so much. It is inspiring to watch them thrive and continue to make an impact in countless ways.

At Miron Construction, we exist to serve the communities in which we live and work, giving back whenever and wherever we can.

United Way envisions a world where every community is a strong one, with jobs that can support families, good schools, and a healthy environment. Miron employees have been giving generously to United Way for several years. In 2022, Miron pledged to donate more than $665,000 in combined employee and corporate donations, an increase of $80,000 from 2021. More than three-quarters of our employees made a gift. As you can see, we take our commitment to sharing in the responsibility of ensuring a safe, healthy community for all very seriously. Miron’s collective commitment to strengthening communities is apparent in its employees’ ongoing donation of time, talent, and treasure. Each year, they make a significant impact on the programs and services supported by United Way throughout each of the communities in which Miron offices are located, including Neenah, Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, Wausau, and Eau Claire, Wisconsin, as well as Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

“In their engagement with United Way Fox Cities, the Miron team has been true to their mission of building excellence. Miron’s culture of dreaming and caring comes through in their big-hearted leadership and commitment, not only for United Way, but for the entire community. At Miron, people want to give back, and that passion is contagious! We are grateful for your generosity and vision as you partner with us to build a stronger, more caring community for everyone.”
Peter Kelly

Miron Volunteer Program (MVP)

Corporate giving is just one way that Miron continues to breathe life into our communities. Additionally, and equally valuable, is the time that staff members personally give to efforts that are near and dear to their hearts. This donation of time, energy, and resources takes place on an individual level as well as the corporate level and is supported through the Miron Volunteer Program (MVP).

MVP hours may be used during the workday to volunteer at any non-profit organizations within the communities Miron calls home. Miron employees donate more than 550 hours of time each year to several worthy community organizations.

MVP: Community Clean-Up
Miron employees regularly head outdoors to pick up trash and debris that has collected on trails and along roads and riverways near our offices. Being a good neighbor is what it’s all about!
MVP: Make A Difference Day
In celebration of Make a Difference Day, Miron employees folded origami cranes, a symbol of strength, to be distributed through area schools’ Sources of Strength program to students struggling with social isolation.
MVP: Cards of Kindness
At the onset of the pandemic, when senior living facilities were on lockdown, Miron staff members and their families created and sent personal greeting cards to residents to let them know that community members were thinking of them during such an uncertain time.
MVP: Operation Gratitude Paracord Bracelet Creation
In honor of Veterans Day, Miron staff members supported Operation Gratitude—a national organization serving military and first responder heroes—by way of assembling paracord bracelets. These functional bracelets are literal lifelines for our service men and women in an emergency; in an instant, and with one strategic pull, 7.5 feet of cord capable of holding up to 550 pounds is available to be used for everything from building a makeshift shelter to suturing an open wound.
MVP: Volunteer Fox Cities Mystery Mission
In honor of National Make A Difference Day, members of the Miron team signed up for a Mystery Mission through Volunteer Fox Cities. After receiving clues about their assignment for several days in advance, the volunteers were finally given the name and address of the non-profit to which they were assigned just a few hours before they were due to report. Miron staff found themselves at BEAMING, Inc., an organization in Neenah that offers equine-assisted therapeutic riding for people of all ages and abilities. The volunteers tackled various improvements and chores, including cleaning out the arena, painting out-buildings, and cleaning saddles and other equipment.

Beyond volunteerism, Miron was happy to donate in-kind work for the organization’s build-out at their Appleton facility. 

“Every morning when I arrive in our beautiful Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin building, I’m reminded of the partnership we have with Miron Construction. Miron walked with us through the entire design, construction and opening of the food bank, and they continue to be alongside us in the three years since. Whether through volunteerism, financial support, or expert advice, we can always count on Miron Construction to be a strong partner in our service to community.”
Patti Habeck

“Everyone at St. Joe’s is very happy with the drive-up distribution model. Because of the support of Miron Construction and many other vendors, St. Joe’s is able to bring our volunteers back inside where they will serve our guests from distribution windows. I can’t begin to express how grateful we are for the community’s support of this project. St. Joe’s has been serving those needing food assistance in the Fox Valley for 39 years.

Make-A-Wish® Wisconsin

Miron collaborated with Make-A-Wish Wisconsin to grant the wish of a very special five-year-old, Dominic. Dominic is living with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe neurological disease that makes him prone to seizures. Dominic wished to be a “worker man” for the day, so several Miron team members stepped up to make his wish come true.

Dominic started his day with a police and fire escort from his home to a nearby Miron project site. Once on site, Dominic joined the crew, undertaking such efforts as operating equipment, pouring concrete, and laying block. Following the site visit, a custom sandbox was constructed at Dominic’s house, with the help of Dominic himself, to ensure he had the perfect place to play with his collection of excavation toys.
