Giving Back
It is that time of year that the Strat Security Family celebrates a year well done but we also remember those that may need our help.
Members of the Strat Security Systems joined together to collect, wrap and deliver pajamas for foster children throughout Maryland.
We were able to provide pajamas for foster children from toddlers to teenagers and are very pleased that we could help those that needed us during the holiday season and this trying year.
We look forward to helping our communities in the upcoming years.
I am very thankful for the Strat Security System Family and all they do for others.
