JVM Works Beyond the Courtroom to Improve Our Community by Giving Volunteer Hours & Cash Donations

Johnson, Vorhees and Martucci aggressively fights for justice in courtrooms across the 4 states. But the struggle to make our communities better does not just happen when injuries occur. JVM believes that we must also work tirelessly to improve our community and prevent harms from happening when we can. We are committed to making changes for the better. We do this by lending a helping hand and devoting our time and efforts to make out little corner of the world better.

We’re proud to share many of the ways JVM worked with others to make life better in Joplin and Springfield in 2021.

In addition to time and volunteer hours, we’re proud to have supported the following additional organizations through financial contributions in 2021:

Elementary School Pride Sweatshirts & Beanies Donation

Each year, our attorneys visit a rotating list of Joplin area elementary schools to provide each student with a free sweatshirt and beanie before the cold winter months approach. As part of our on-going effort to foster self-respect and help all students in the community achieve their full potential, each article includes the school’s name and colors to encourage a sense of school pride and belonging.

JVM believes that building better communities takes daily effort and donated time and money. We believe that by protecting people from harm, preventing accidents from happening, and advocating for victims in and out of the courtroom, our communities are one step closer to being the best versions they can be.

For more information on our community engagement, or to get involved with the great work these organizations are already doing, call us at 417-206-0100.
