Giving back.

We focus our charitable donations and volunteering within the communities where we live and work. Each subsidiary company has a giving committee that works together to decide where our funds can make the biggest impact.

Having fun while working hard.

Working together safely as a team means knowing and trusting the people around you. Every location is a little different, but we all value time spent together with annual parties, company outings and other fun activities.

The Pat Hillman Safety Award.

Every year, facilities have the opportunity to win our highly competitive and prestigious safety award — named after the company matriarch and granddaughter of our founder. The winning facility (as determined by a panel of plant managers) earns a coveted trophy, $1,000 cash for each employee and a face-to-face dinner with JDH executives.

In 2024, the Patricia Hillman Award for Safety Culture Excellence was shared by two recipients: Pixley, California Plant Manager Jack McKillip, pictured right, and Springville, New York Plant Manager Rich Ardillo, pictured left. Congratulations to both on this well-deserved recognition!
