Community Relations
Mission Statement
To make a positive contribution to the communities we live and work in by promoting MSC's unique culture of teamwork, delivering positive results, sharing and diversity; contributing to MSC's overall mission to be the best industrial distributor as measured by our associates, customers, owners and suppliers.
Our Team
MSC's Community Relations Team (formerly known as the Community Action Team) operates out of our Customer Support Center (CSC) in Melville, New York and is responsible for all of the community activities at the CSC. Additionally, Regional Community Outreach Teams operate out of our Customer Fulfillment Centers. The Community Outreach Teams work in conjunction with the CSC Community Relations Team to oversee Community Relations events in our Customer Fulfillment Centers.
The teams carry on the tradition of giving and corporate social responsibility established by our founder, Sidney Jacobson. Sid was known for his philanthropy, his genuine concern for others, and his kind spirit. MSC Industrial Supply is proud to continue Sid's legacy by partnering with non-profit organizations and supporting our communities at large.
The Community Relations Team focuses on two programs throughout the year. The Community Outreach Program - which oversees all external community activities; and the MSC Spirit Program - which encompasses all of the activities for our internal Associates, and mainly focuses on Associate morale and promoting the MSC Industrial Supply culture.
The Community Relations Team is a cross-functional group of Associates who represent the many functional areas within the CSC. This group of Associates participates on the team in addition to their permanent job functions at MSC Industrial Supply. The team rotates annually, giving all of our Associates the opportunity to participate. The Community Relations Manager leads the Community Relations Team, and oversees the activities of the regional teams.
In addition to planning, coordinating and facilitating all CSC community events, the Community Relations Team reviews and approves all proposals for charitable sponsorships while executing the company's long-term vision for Community Relations.
