Communities make us who we are. They’re where our families grow, our employees live and our businesses take root. That’s why we invest our time, resources and energy into building places that are stronger, healthier and more connected.
We don’t just support our communities – we stand with them. Through service, philanthropy and long-term partnerships, we’re helping to create lasting change. And in return, our communities make us stronger too.
Why We Do It
For nearly a century, we’ve believed in something simple but powerful: when communities thrive, people thrive. Strong communities create opportunity, spark creativity and build connection – the very things that fuel our families, our businesses and our future.

Powered by Our People
Community is part of who we are. From packing meals at food banks to mentoring students and supporting local initiatives in need, our employees step up all year long.
“We know the solution to alleviating hunger lies in the support of our community. Partnerships with companies like The Heritage Group make our mission possible.”
Amanda Borden Vice President of Development at Eastern Illinois Food Bank
