Safety Manager Stops to
Remember First Responders
Southeast Safety Manager Allen Owen
took a break from his standard Martin
Marietta responsibilities on Sept. 11 to
represent the company at the inaugural
Blue Mass – a non-denominational event
held at Auburn, Alabama’s St. Michael the
Archangel Parish Church to honor those
who died on Sept. 11, 2001, and recognize
the efforts of today’s first responders.
The gathering, which was attended by
about 30 police officers, firefighters and
paramedics, allowed people to remember
the tragedy in their own way, Owen said,
adding that some prayed while others simply
observed a moment of silence.

Benton said.

“We all just wanted our first responders
to know that we appreciate what they do
day in and day out,” Owen said. “For me, it
was a moment to reflect on 9/11 and another
way to show my support for the men
and women who protect us each day.”

Food Drives Bring Aid, Comfort to Needy Across Texas
A pair of Martin Marietta district teams
again reached deep into their hearts this
summer to bring aid to men, women and
children across Texas.
Employees in the Southwest Division’s
Gulf Coast District and the Cement and
Southwest Ready Mix Division’s South
Texas Ready Mix District worked to assist
the Coastal Bend Food Bank and the
Central Texas Food Bank, respectively.
Sales Coordinator Charlcey Taylor said
the Gulf Coast District again collected
food from employees, customers and
vendors during the annual Customer
Appreciation Shrimp Boil.
“The first year, we donated 100 pounds
of food,” Taylor said. “Last year, we donated
22,000 pounds. And this year, our
customers brought in 52,000 pounds!”
In South Texas Ready Mix, employees
contributed more than 2,000 pounds of
food, said Process Engineer Marcus Gates.
While all company teams in the region
participated and were successful in the
charitable effort, employees in the Austin
District were named the 2019 Food Drive
Champions after donating an average of
7.54 pounds of food per employee.
“The summer is one of the toughest
times of the year for food banks and with
our contributions, we have helped many
families in need,” Gates said.
Gulf Coast employees and their customers
collected more than 52,000 pounds of food for the
Coastal Bend Food Bank in Corpus Christi, Texas.
