The NPMA Gives award is given annually to recognize member companies who contribute charitable donations, programs, and time to their communities. EnviroPest stood out this year for their service. They donated over $20,000 annually to local organizations, they provided bed bug heat treatments to families who couldn’t afford them, as well as instated an Annual Serve Day within their organization where they close the office for the day and take staff off-site to serve a local non-profit. These donations and community service days epitomize the heart of NPMA Gives. Congratulations EnviroPest!
