At Barts Electric, generosity is more than a value—it’s part of who we are. As a national electrical construction contractor, Barts Electric believes that success in the electrical trade goes hand in hand with supporting the communities where we live and work. That belief was on full display during a recent Giving Machines event held at the Barts Electric office.
This initiative wasn’t just about donations—it was about bringing people together, encouraging generosity, and showing how electricians and construction professionals can make a meaningful impact beyond the jobsite.
What Are the Giving Machines?
The Giving Machines are simple, interactive donation kiosks that allow individuals to support local charities in an easy and tangible way. Instead of selecting a generic donation amount, participants choose specific items that directly benefit families and communities in need.
At Barts Electric, employees and visitors could donate items such as:
-
Fresh produce and whole chickens
-
Rice and garden seeds
-
Essential supplies
-
Even livestock, like a goat that can provide milk and long-term sustainability for a family
For example, one popular option was donating a goat for $86—an impactful gift that can truly change a family’s life by providing food and income opportunities.
Donations ranged from $5 to $50 and beyond, reinforcing the idea that everyone can give something.
A Company-Wide Commitment to Generosity
To amplify the impact, Barts Electric matched employee donations, doubling the support provided to local charities. The goal was ambitious: to make the Giving Machines at Barts Electric the highest revenue-generating location of the month.
The event ran all day—from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on December 1st—even through snowy weather. With the lobby decorated, snacks available, and gifts under the trees, the atmosphere reflected what Barts Electric is known for: a welcoming, people-first culture.
