Eaton Corporation Supports Local Food Movement Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton recently demonstrated its commitment to Cleveland County's rapidly growing local food movement by providing a $25,000 grant to Foothills Farmers' Market. Designated toward a permanent market facility in Uptown Shelby, Eaton's gift provided the impetus to move forward with construction of the facility this year. Eaton, which employs approximately 400 workers at its transmission division plant in Kings Mountain, directs all of its philanthropic efforts toward making a difference in the quality of life in communities where they operate. Joe McClain, EHS manager at the plant, served as project sponsor and helped secure the gift from the Eaton Charitable Fund. Each year, the fund contributes approximately $5 million to nonprofit organizations in support of community improvement, education, and arts and cultural programs. McClain and his colleagues have supported a number of hands-on community projects, including filling backpacks with food and school supplies for students at Grover Elementary School. County extension director Greg Traywick, who made the funding request, is working with McClain to identify other ways for NC Cooperative Extension and Eaton Corporation to collaborate. Possibilities include making local foods readily available to the plant's cafeteria, composting cafeteria waste and providing the environmentally-friendly byproduct to local farmers as a soil amendment, and creating school or community gardens to combat hunger and food insecurity in Grover and Kings Mountain. Ed Faylo serves as plant manager and heads Eaton's local leadership team. "Eaton strives to be a good corporate citizen and to conduct our business in a way that respects the world around us," Faylo says. "We're committed to making the communities where our employees live and work vibrant and sustainable, and we're proud to support Foothills Farmers' Market in their efforts promote the economic, environmental, health, Continued On Page 23 and social benefits of local foods."
