​​    Here at The Elevator Company we strive to give back to our community. We love what we do in our elevator world, but we are always looking to see how we can help in our community.

    We are so thankful we were able to put on two Veterans day events in 2018 and 2019 at The VFW in Ontario. We put our minds together and thought on how we could give back to our local heroes. We were able to rally tons of volunteers and small businesses to put on an two unforgettable events. We even got the community together prior to the 1st event to do a huge trash and weeds clean-up in the parking lot behind the VFW and help.

    We have had the local community and businesses donate their time and services and rally together to give back and provide a night to celebrate our heroes. The Elevator Co. organizes the whole event and even some of our employees join and get behind the BBQ. We were also able to give out tons of prizes donated by local businesses. 

     We are so thankful we got to honor our Heroes and that everyone came together to give back. We have had so much fun throwing this event 2 years in a row and look forward to giving back in 2020.  It does take a village, and every little bit helps. If you would like to get involved please call or email us at the office. This is definitely going to be a day you wont want to miss.

                           Anton Buckhard 

He had every intention on signing up for the Navy, but paperwork got mixed up and he went across the street and signed himself up for the Army! From 1946-1948 Anton was a supply clerk, stationed in Yokohac, Japan. We asked Anton if he would do it all over again and he told us, "without a doubt, if his body would let him!" What an honor to praise him and give back, thank you sir!

​What a whirlwind of emotions the last year and a half have been. Since the world plandemic (ie: COVID) we have been pushing through and continuing to strive for excellence, in customer service; with our TEC family and our community. We have all been effected by the changes we have all endured during these times. Unfortunately, 2020 Veteran's Day we did not see it fit to have a celebration. Queue 2021! We are back and ready for more! We love and missed our Veterans and giving back to them is what we did!  Our stance is; NOW MORE THEN EVER, we need to stand behind our Veterans and show our love. Here at The Elevator Company, we believe in our lives its just not about working on elevators; its also being apart of the community. 

We are thrilled to present 5 amazing; hardworking; lovable Veteran's in our local community to honor and appreciate.
