Did you know that local business can “adopt” schools through NourishNC? It’s easier than you think to begin providing food weekly to hungry children in our area!

Now you may be asking yourself what this has to do with a rail-car company. Well, NourishNC recently partnered with Vertex Rail who, among the many great things they are doing for our community, has “adopted” Rachel Freeman elementary. Now we have the opportunity to not only grow our program through their monetary donations but also have the pleasure of getting to know several Vertex employees through their monthly volunteer nights at NourishNC’s warehouse. If you are interested in “adopting” a New Hanover Co. school contact us today!

A little about Vertex Rail and Vertex Outreach Services…
Vertex works to not only be good individuals and teammates but to also create a company that is considered, on a global basis, to be a standard by which all others should be judged. If we are successful in accomplishing this, then we will be able to “do good” by supporting, and improving the lives of our fellow teammates, their families, and our communities in general.
This is the reason behind Vertex Outreach Services, a program designed to support our local community through services such as school breakfasts, job training and volunteerism. By reaching out to all areas of our communities to foster real and promising opportunities, we believe we can have a positive and long-lasting impact on the livelihood of our people. Through real effort and real investment, Vertex Outreach Services will be a driving force behind our community’s present and future well-being.
