Flood Relief Efforts in New York State

NYCM Insurance partnered with other local businesses to provide relief efforts to our neighbors who were devastated by recent flooding caused by Hurricanes Irene and Lee. Our combined efforts brought items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, hand sanitizer, all-purpose cleaner, rubber gloves, masks, paper towels, yogurt, peanut butter, jelly and bread.  We visited Sidney, Owego and Margarettville.  NYCM's Vice President of Marketing, Jeremy Robinson, stated that "a little teamwork can go a long way, as we gladly help our neighbors in any way we can."

Happy Holiday for Flooded Families

Marketing and Research & Development collectively raised nearly $400.00 and went shopping.  They were provided the names of two families devastated by the recent flooding caused by storms Irene and Lee.

The first family was an older couple trying to put their home back together, NYCM Insurance mailed them a gift certificate to Lowe's so they could pick out items they wanted most.  The second was a very large family that had lost nearly everything but the structure of their home. NYCM Insurance provided gifts for the family to help them celebrate the holidays.

Soldier Program: IT Buddies

NYCM Insurance is a proud sponsor of the Soldier Program which is championed by Information Technology's "IT Buddies". There are nearly 35 teams of NYCM employees involved in the effort which helps to send care packages to soldiers deployed overseas. During 2011, NYCM employees sent 175 packages to 46 soldiers. NYCM contributes items to each package and pays shipping, without which we would not be able to help as many soldiers as we do.
