PL Developments believes there is so much more to success than just the products we produce. Finding new ways to foster positive relationships with our customers, our employees, and our community is a top priority.
We are extremely proud of the charities we support, in conjunction with our
clients, as well as our Journey Forward Art Project which encourages students to engage in new creative outlets. Of course, there is no greater team building exercise then when we come together for a good cause to help those in need. As always, it is PLD people that make the difference…
December 2018 - PLD South Carolina Fights Hunger
PLD SC spent the holiday season donating to the local SnackPack Program. Many children who receive free or reduced-price school meals are left without adequate nutrition on weekends and holiday breaks. The SnackPack Program is designed to fill this gap by providing kid-friendly, easy-to-prepare snack foods to children at risk of weekend hunger in the Clinton, SC area.

December 2016
Our PLD South Carolina facilities held their first Pie Your Boss fundraiser. Each facility had their own donation box decorated in the style of their favorite sports team. The facility whose box received the most donated goods, got their break room decorated in the colors of that team for the rest of the year. Who-hoo! The event was then topped off with the chance to pie your boss. Our team members raised $315 for charity, upon which PLD matched this for a grand total of $630 donated.
Each facility wanted to support their local communities, so Clinton (CMS and CDC) donations went to Lauren’s Hospice House and Duncan’s went to Spartanburg Soup Kitchen.
August 2015 - PLD Volunteers Help Fight Hunger in L.A. County

Another example of PLD people making a difference!

They then proceeded to the Production floor where we walked them through our production process from start to finish.
May 2015 - PLD supports Ronald McDonald House
During the month of May, PLD NY sponsored a “Wish List Drive” to collect needed items for Ronald McDonald House of Long Island. Ronald McDonald House is that “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost. They provide a place to stay and home-cooked meals near hospitals so that families can focus on their children while they are in treatment. Thanks to the generosity of PLDers, the drive was a huge success! And, Risk Strategies, our insurance brokers, generously volunteered to partner with us for this corporate volunteerism event, making it an even bigger success.
From your event organizers, Lisa Mendicino and Kayla Dimatteo, and the entire HR team, thanks for stepping up and showing what PLD is all about. Two thumbs up PLD!
