Community

Strengthening our Communities

Community participation engages individuals in the communities to have an active part in decisions that can affect their day-to-day lives. at Bertch, we have always encouraged our associates to pursue the community or charitable causes that are important to them, and even offer a matching gifts program to all associates.

Our involvement in the organizations and nonprofits we support, helps to revitalize and strengthen communities for long-term success as well as our own.
