In 2002, the Eastern Cares program was established to exhibit a profound care for people with the ultimate goal of having a positive impact upon the lives of others not only within our company, but also in our communities, our country, and other cultures around the world. Eastern offers helping hands of service because of our concern and compassion for others in need. Using our gifts, talents, and abilities and giving from our resources, Eastern is committed to serving others.
