Lochner’s mission is to improve the lives of people and their communities. Our philosophy in caring for each other and our communities is defined in four words – doing the right thing.
From volunteering at local food pantries, swinging hammers for Habitat for Humanity, or raising funds for our in-house non-profit, giving back is woven into our culture.
Lochner Cares is an independent IRS-registered 501(c)(3) charity that was established to assist Lochner employees during times of unusual distress, such as natural disasters, family emergencies, non-recurring expenses not covered by health insurance or homeowners’/renters’ insurance, or other financial catastrophes. Funded completely by generous donations from Lochner employees, Lochner Cares provides monetary loans or grants and additional paid time off.
How We Help One Another
Caring for Each Other
Since Lochner Cares is fully funded by generous employee donations, it provides a formal channel for employees to anonymously assist fellow colleagues in time of need.
Emergency Assistance
Managed by an independent board of Lochner employees, Lochner Cares quickly responds to emergency and unexpected hardship situations through financial assistance or paid time off.
Community Service Match
Lochner Cares supports employee efforts to serve others by providing matching contributions for other charities and community service paid leave.

A History of Helping
Lochner Cares is also the platform for our Giving Back program supporting participation in community service efforts throughout our communities. The initiative upholds community activism, stewardship, and charitable giving in the communities in which we live and work. Employees firmwide organize and participate in volunteer activities that support their local communities throughout the year.
