Datron Continues to Support Mission of SSE

For the second year in a row, Datron World Communications Foundation has gifted $10,000 to Sustainable Surplus (SSE) to support its ENGAGE! San Diego program.  The Foundation’s mission

is to positively impact the lives of others today and in the future. Datron provides for this fund by tithing 10 percent of its quarterly operating profit into the fund.

ENGAGE! is an innovative program to magnify SSE’s engagement with local businesses, their employees and the community.  ENGAGE! is a reuse/recycle campaign that fosters corporations’ social responsibility through the donation of items for repurposing, as well as engages their employees in volunteerism and sustainability. 

Datron has been an asset donor to SSE for four years, donating everything from office supplies and furniture to electronic equipment.  “We are very grateful to Datron for supporting our mission to build a sustainable community by helping local organizations,” said executive director Sue Prelozni.

Datron employee Danny Pate sponsored SSE to request the gift from the Foundation.

The gift arrives at a key time for SSE.  Due to the increasing surplus donations, SSE has had to increase its operations and manpower to manage the inventory and get it redistributed to local educational, nonprofit and start-up organizations.
