This year marked the 19th year U.S. Engineering has worked with KVC Behavioral Healthcare to collect Christmas gifts for less fortunate children. When U.S. Engineering started the program in 1996, the company provided for 12 children. The program has consistently grown, and this year, employees set a record by providing for 49 children. This brings the grand total of children over the years to 543.

To celebrate the accomplishment of surpassing the 500 child mark, U.S. Engineering decorated offices with 500 Santa hats individually numbered from 1 to 500, each representing one of the children who have received presents from U.S. Engineering employees, creating quite a visual.
