River Heights Chamber Member Tributes
Huebsch
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,
personal protective equipment has been
a needed resource that is in short supply.
Huebsch Services recognized this need
early on and made a commitment to use
the company’s connections throughout
the world to source N95 masks. This
week, Huebsch Services donated 8,000
N95 face masks to the communities
Huebsch calls home – Eau Claire and
Chippewa Counties in Wisconsin and
Dakota County in Minnesota. The
emergency management teams in
these counties can identify the areas of
greatest need for this personal protective
equipment and distribute the N95
face masks to medical personnel and
first responders throughout the local
communities.
“Helping others is at the core of what we
do at Huebsch,” says Fourth Generation
President and CEO Jim Vaudreuil. “Thank
you to all the first responders and medical
personnel in our communities. We hope
this donation helps you to be protected as
you continue to care for our communities.”
In addition to the donation of 8,000 N95
face masks, Huebsch has also been
producing fabric face masks for its
employees and continues to support
the Mask Beez community face mask
initiative in the Eau Claire area. As of
beginning of June, Huebsch has picked
up, laundered, and then delivered 17,115
new fabric face masks back to the
medical community through the Mask
Beez program.
Town Square Television
One very unique project this
summer has been producing
virtual video graduation
ceremonies to allow friends
and family of the Class of 2020
to recognize their achievements
as the end of their
senior year was taken away.
Each school had unique ideas
for creating safe and socially
distanced virtual celebrations.
As one Valedictorian said in
her speech, “We didn’t get a
proper send-off, and we didn’t
get a proper good-bye…” Town
Square Television was thrilled
to help produce fun and meaningful graduation videos, and
with the support of Volkswagen of Inver Grove, to provide a
free keepsake digital download to every family.

Thousands of graduates, relatives, and friends tuned in live and
on-demand to view the programs on Comcast and CenturyLink
cable, Facebook, townsquare.tv, Vimeo, and YouTube. The first
event captured 4,500 Facebook Live views and another 1,000
in the following two days.
TST Catering
Over the past couple
months, we have
tried to do our part
to “Pay It Forward” in
our community. To
date, we have donated
over 2,400 meals and
discounted another
3,000 meals to those in
need, including hospital
staff, first responders
and struggling families.
As an average, that
is more than 350
meals for each one of
our employees that
we have provided
to those in need. In
addition, we have
continued our operations
to senior homes,
childcare centers and
a few of our corporate
customers.
