Community Involvement

Compass Community Involvement

Our culture is shaped by our Midwestern values, leading us to prioritize giving back. Compass, our employee-led community involvement team, is charged with pushing our community forward. All employee-owners can participate in Community Days and volunteer with local charities of their choosing, making an impact during dedicated workdays.

Dedicating Time to our Community

Through thousands of annual volunteer hours and donations, our “Grow Getters” team is driven to support the neighborhoods we operate in. And we prioritize having fun together while making a difference. Having fun at work makes the world better for our employees, our customers and our communities.

"I am impressed with how community focused FST Logistics is with their business. They truly care about the community that they do business. Not only are they active participants in the areas they are located but they engage their employees to become a part of that process as well. Included in that is anything from helping to give out free back to school supplies, assisting with various holiday community events, to just being a great resource for others. The organization truly cares about the community and wants to do the things to help that area grow."
