Community Outreach
We are committed to the three “P”s: people, planet, and profit

“We appreciate that Davis & Hodgdon makes their staff’s volunteerism possible with investments in company time, expertise, and infrastructure. Allowing an employee time for our monthly board meetings and the use of accounting software will not bring notoriety, but it does not go unnoticed. We are truly grateful for your contribution to our work.”
– Greg Hanson, President, Rebuilding Together, Greater Burlington
