Community Involvement
At Jet Parts Engineering we believe a successful company should do its part to give back to the community. Jet Parts Engineering is proud to join forces with charitable organizations throughout the year, such as the local Boys and Girls Club, Puget Sound Blood Center and the Ronald McDonald House Charity, in an effort to better the world around us.
Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association
Jet Parts Engineering participated in a fun, hands-on conservation project led by staff from Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association's Nature Team at Pigeon Point. Restoration work includes removing invasive plants, planting native species, mulching new plantings, and other activities depending on the restoration progress in each site.
Puget Sound Blood Center
Employees at Jet Parts Engineering have generously marketed and networked with surrounding businesses to give blood donations every three months via the mobile blood bank for Bloodworks NW (formerly Puget Sound Blood Center). We know each donation can save up to three lives and are eager to ensure this precious resource is available for ill and injured people in our community.
Boys & Girls Club of America
JPE employees have generously donated their own monies at bowling events to the local Boys and Girls Club of America, with a matching donation from Jet Parts Engineering! This event lets our employees have fun while donating for a worthy cause which adds up to a win/win for everyone!
Ronald McDonald House Charity
Jet Parts Engineering visited the local Ronald McDonald House Charity in Seattle. The Jet Parts Engineering team prepared a warm meal for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House, whose children undergo care at nearby Children's Hospital.
Museum of Flight Volunteering
Jet Parts Engineering helped the neighboring Museum of Flight deconstruct a number of storage shelves and reassemble them in their research library.
BikeWorks
During multiple visits, Jet Parts Engineering visited Bike Works in Columbia City to help them clean off donated bikes. These bikes were then repaired and given to local children in need of transportation.
Big Climb Fund Raising
Jet Parts Engineering employees have participated in the Big Climb to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). In support of the LLS mission: To cure Leukemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin's Disease and Myeloma, Jet Parts Engineering employees contributed over $5,000 and climbed 69 stories of the Seattle Skyscraper, the Columbia Center Tower.
Water 1st and Carry 5: Walking for Water
Jet Parts Engineering teamed up with Water 1st International to raise money to provide safe drinking water to poor communities around the world. Jet Parts Engineering employees participate in the annual Carry 5: Walking for Water. Walking for Water is an interactive fundraising activity put on by Water 1st in which participants carry 5 gallons of water over a distance of 5 kilometers. This simulates the challenge that many women and children around the world face every day in order to provide safe drinking water for their families.
