GARNER, IA — Stellar Industries, a 100% employee-owned manufacturer of work trucks, trailers, and service truck and van accessories, donated a combined $34,561 to United Way of North Central Iowa through its annual employee-driven fundraising campaign.
The contribution reflects funds raised by Stellar employees during the holiday season, matched dollar-for-dollar by the company. The annual effort supports United Way programs that serve families, education initiatives, and essential social services across North Central Iowa.
Employee Ownership Drives Community Investment
As an employee-owned organization, Stellar’s workforce plays a direct role in deciding how and where charitable dollars are invested. Employees contribute throughout the year, with the company matching donations as part of a structured giving program focused on local impact.
“It’s inspiring to see our team come together each year to give back to such a meaningful organization,” said David Zrostlik, President of Stellar. “Supporting United Way is truly an honor, and we’re grateful to play a small part in making a positive difference in our local communities.”
Giving Back Where Employees Live and Work
Stellar’s support of United Way is part of a broader corporate giving program that prioritizes local organizations, education, and social services in the communities where the company operates. The program reinforces Stellar’s commitment to being a long-term partner in the regions that support its manufacturing workforce.
Rather than one-time donations, Stellar’s giving strategy emphasizes sustained community involvement and measurable local benefit.
Donation Requests Reviewed Monthly
Organizations seeking support through Stellar’s corporate giving program can submit an online donation request. Applications are reviewed monthly by a Stellar team, with eligibility criteria and submission details available through the company’s website.
