The County Materials Family of Companies actively recruits veterans and service members because of the values they bring that drive our company’s performance. Whether they find a role with our company or not, we are committed to helping veterans transition smoothly from a military career to a fulfilling civilian life by supporting many charitable organizations that empower and uplift veterans and service members through the Sonnentag American Foundation. The Sonnentag American Foundation is a private family foundation that provides philanthropy on behalf of the County Materials organization in cities and communities where facilities are located.
Through the Foundation, we expand community resources to improve the lives of service members, veterans, wounded heroes, and the families that love and support them. In 2024, we supported the following veteran-focused organizations:
