NFI Group (NFI), the parent company of Motor Coach Industries (MCI), announced that its annual United Way Workplace Campaign raised $378,700—surpassing its goal by 10 percent and continuing NFI’s commitment to supporting communities. Since 2009, NFI has raised $2.8 million for United Way agencies.

The campaign was again championed by employees across North America, with MCI Director of Human Resources Michelle Whyard as campaign chair and teams participating from NFI subsidiaries and raising funds through individual, team challenge, and virtual giving.

“This has by far been the most challenging year for fundraising across the board, with a global pandemic and economic recession creating a tough reality that at times felt like an uphill battle—but our team dug deep. Together, we rallied to raise precious dollars that will provide critical and basic supports to so many in need in our communities,” said NFI Executive Vice President, Human Resources Janice Harper.

“As a driving value of our organization, supporting our communities continues to provide a path that brings us together. At NFI, we exist to move people—millions of them around the world every day—but we do so with great care and consideration for what life looks like at the final destination. This year has been unlike any other, and we must continue doing what we can to lift our communities when and where they need it most,” Harper added.
