At Schmitty & Sons, our commitment to community involvement is deeply rooted in our company’s values. As we expand our services, we continue to invest in the communities we serve through meaningful partnerships and programs.
Our dedication to education extends beyond school transportation. We collaborate with institutions like Dakota County Technical College and Lakeville Works to offer mentorship and apprenticeship opportunities for high school graduates and college students. Additionally, we partner with 191 Community Education programs to support lifelong learning initiatives.
Schmitty & Sons actively engages with local schools by hosting tours and supporting a variety of extracurricular activities. We are proud to encourage student involvement outside the classroom and help foster meaningful educational experiences.
We are committed to supporting our communities through long-standing partnerships with local non-profit organizations. For nearly a decade, Schmitty & Sons has proudly organized annual food drives, donating thousands of pounds of food each year to local food shelves. One of our most impactful efforts includes our participation in the “Stuff the Bus” campaign, which has become a tradition of giving across our organization.
In 2024, we expanded our community outreach by launching an incredibly successful Toys for Tots drive. With overwhelming support from our employees, we collected and delivered an impressive number of toys—spreading joy to countless children during the holiday season. These initiatives reflect our ongoing commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
Beyond providing transportation, we actively participate in community events to foster meaningful connections and celebrate shared values. We are proud to be recognized for our inclusive practices and commitment to creating a welcoming environment for all.
Each year, we host family-friendly events that bring the community together. These gatherings feature engaging activities, interactive displays, and opportunities to learn more about what we do—all in a fun and welcoming atmosphere.
