MeeDerby has been a fully remote company for over a decade, and with that we have encouraged our team to get away from their desks and into their communities to give back.
In this season of giving, we want to highlight the ways the MeeDerby family volunteers their time!
Robin Mee – CEO & Founder – MeeDerby Gives Thanks, our charitable giving campaign is in it’s 6th year, and in 2025 will be contributing to the ASA Foundation in support specifically with Women In Leadership scholarships and the ASA Administrative Fund.

Alex Hills – Executive Recruiter – Participates in Holiday Heroes at the kids’ school where each classroom sponsors a child in need and they make a wishlist of items to purchase and the classroom parents clear the wishlist for Christmas. She also participated in a service project through the school to honor first responders in our community leading up to 9/11. This involved donated items for care packages that were delivered to the Fire department, Police Department, local hospital, and the National Guard in our community. Our neighborhood also did a food drive last month to donate food to a local food pantry when the SNAP benefits were suspended, and donated pantry items. Finally, she participated in the school’s fundraiser to raise money for class field trips, purchasing items from the teacher’s wish lists to add to their classroom, etc.
Lauren Fenech – Supports East Kentwood Athletics in Grand Rapids, MI and volunteers at elementary holiday events.
Jack Jobst – Volunteers with the American Staffing Association on their Marketing & PR committee as well as the Technology Taskforce.
Each year we challenge our team to be more and more involved as we miss out on the opportunity to come together like a branch who works in person would. It is important to remain involved in our communities right outside our doorstep and to intentionally give back.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
The MeeDerby Team
