Employee Development Team

The Steere House Employee Development Team (EDT) is a group of employees that organizes fundraising activities to support those programs or initiatives that help to improve the quality of residents' daily life.

The Team is active in developing in-house fundraising efforts, such as bake sales, gift basket raffles and other efforts to raise money to support specific resident needs. The Team is also responsible for such community efforts as the Steere House Walk. Each year, the group also organizes the Gifts From The Heart Employee Annual Fund, when employees can designate paycheck contributions for specified Steere House projects.

EDT and Resident "Picking Up the  Pieces" Campaign Raises Over $850 To Support Haiti Relief Efforts

The Steere House Employee Development Team, along with the Resident Council, led fundraising efforts to support of the disaster relief efforts in Haiti.  With a number of employees with loved ones in Haiti, the urge to help became a critical call for many that work and live here.  A multi-faceted effort, the Campaign consisted of the sale of Dress Down Stickers, a bake sale along with the sale of Haiti Puzzle Pins, crafted by Steere House residents.   To date, these fundraising efforts have generated more than $850 for Haiti.

All proceeds from this Campaign will go to the American Red Cross.
