Mackin is a family-owned and operated business that embraces family values, such as hardwork, respect, and commitment, in its professional work environment as well as in its community involvement initiatives. As a local business within the Pittsburgh and Harrisburg areas for 50 years, Mackin values and appreciates the continued support and loyalty of their clients. It is these sentiments that are carried out in our community involvement efforts—to give back to local residents in the region that have given to us over the years. Mackin and its employees are committed to making local communities a better place to live through their professional efforts as well as personal stewardship.
During the holiday season, it is a Mackin tradition for the employees to select and give to several local charities in the area. In 2009, the recognized charities within the Pittsburgh area were the Findlay Township “Shop with a Cop” program, West Allegheny Food Pantry, and the Beaver County Humane Society. The employees of the Harrisburg office donated to the York Rescue Mission and the Bethesda Mission. Employees donated necessary “wish list” supplies along with financial contributions to all of these organizations. The company’s owners generously matched the employees’ monetary donations, which extended the benefits of these gifts.
Charities We Support
The "Shop with a Cop" program (in its ninth year) seeks to raise funds to enable local police officers to go shopping with and buy underprivileged kids from the West Allegheny School District (ages 6-13) Christmas gifts. The kids and their immediate families get to spend time with other families and enjoy a dinner/pizza party, donated by the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott.
The West Allegheny Food Pantry provides food and necessities to local area families in need.
The Beaver County Humane Society’s mission is to protect all domestic animals by providing shelter and care; adoption services; investigation, correction or prosecution of cruelty or abuse situations; education programs; and promotion of the concepts of kindness and respect for all living creatures throughout Beaver County.
The York Rescue Mission and Bethesda Mission offer food, clothing, shelter and spiritual guidance for the poor and needy of York County and Harrisburg areas, respectively.
Robinson Township Christian School serves grades preschool through 12, and this year celebrates 30 years of educating students with a Christian world-view and equipping them for college and service in the private and corporate sector. Students who attend RTCS originate from over twenty western Pennsylvania communities. Their graduates are attending post-secondary education institutions such as: Michigan State, West Point Military Academy, University of Pittsburgh, Geneva College, and Grove City College.
In addition to Mackin’s annual holiday charities, employees are encouraged and supported in other volunteer efforts throughout the year. Many employees participate in charity races, bikes rides, and fundraising events that benefit local and national organizations. Such events include Pittsburgh’s Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure (supporting the fight against breast cancer); Allison Park’s Just a Short Run Marathon (benefitting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society); the City of Pittsburgh’s annual Great Race; and the MS 150 Bike Ride (a 150-mile ride, benefitting the Multiple Sclerosis Society).
