T. C. Lewis & Co. gives back as much and as often as possible. "The people in the communities where we do business are our people. We all live and work with each other, our kids play together, and we want to better the community however we can," says Cory Lewis, President/CEO. "A big part of our business is economic development-related, and that helps the areas where we operate in one respect with jobs, tax revenues, and things. But the folks within our organization are always out volunteering and giving back whenever they can, so we want to support them in their efforts as well."

T. C. Lewis & Co. has been named 'Community Supporter of the Year' by United Way for efforts and donations to the Boys and Girls Club.
