May 21, 2025 – In honor of Memorial Day, teammates across Esler Companies came together to support deployed U.S. service members by participating in Hero Day, a company-wide volunteer event in partnership with HeroBox.
HeroBox is a nonprofit that delivers personalized care packages to deployed service members based on their specific needs. What began as one family’s effort to support a loved one in Iraq has grown into a national mission to make care from home feel more personal and meaningful.
Esler Companies dedicated $30,000 to fund the initiative, which took place across all ten territories. Teammates packed 700 HeroBoxes filled with items requested by military members stationed overseas. The care packages included healthy snacks, coffee and drink mixes, sweet treats, on-the-go toiletries, puzzle books, and more. Each box also featured a handwritten note from a teammate, written on Esler “With Love” note cards.
Esler Companies is proud to employ many veterans, including Zach Moelter, Corporal, USMC (Ret.) and Warehouse Manager, North Texas, who shared:
“As a Marine Veteran, taking part in Hero Day held a personal meaning for me. During my deployments to Iraq in the early 2000s, care packages were a rarity. The infrastructure to support mail delivery was barely in place, and those small comforts reminded us we hadn’t been forgotten. Every box we packed says, ‘We see you. We appreciate you. You matter.’”
Every Esler location added its own local touch. In Oklahoma, teammates stamped handprints in paint on the outside of each box and attached a simple message: “From Our Hands to Yours. With Love, Esler Companies.”
“Our Renewal Cares Window of Giving program is designed to create meaningful, purpose-driven opportunities for teammates to make an impact,” said Katie Kleyla, Director of Teammate Experience. “Hero Day gave us a chance to do just that. It wasn’t just a way to give back; it was also a team-building experience that brought teammates together around something that matters.”
Esler Companies is intentional about creating volunteer opportunities that are personal and meaningful. Hero Day reflected that commitment, bringing teammates together around a cause that matters to them.
