Since its inception, the Gift of Security has provided integrated security solutions to nearly 30 organizations. Local offices are privately owned and under no obligation to participate in the Gift of Security, however, the company says employees at participating local offices often donate their time during the work week to execute the program and time on the weekend for installations.

“We wholeheartedly believe in giving back to the communities where we do business and several of the winners were subject to recent security incidents,” says Steve Crespo, Security 101’s CEO. “Applying our expertise to help nonprofit organizations that otherwise might not be able to afford protection is why we are all so passionate. Our goal is to have all 37 office locations participating in the program.”
