Origin of the Five Stones Name
Our name is taken from 1 Samuel 17:40, “…and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook…” Each stone represents a corporate culture value:
According to the scripture, young David was able to defeat the mighty Goliath with five smooth stones taken from a nearby brook. “David and Goliath” is now a proverbial expression for a small force overcoming giant challenges.
5SRC actively supports community and charitable organizations and activities.
With the goal of using employee and corporate resources to help others, 5SRC established an outreach program to enable and encourage our employee family to work together in support of local and national service projects and programs.
This outreach program enabled 5SRC to create its own Corporate Charitable Fund through the Huntsville Community Foundation. The 5SRC fund is “Stepping Stones.” Employees sign up to participate with a monthly “gift.” 5SRC matches our employees’ “gifts” (up to $200 per employee per year), and an employee committee manages the fund for project and program activities and distributions. Distributions to charities (selected by our employees) take place on an annual basis. Since its inception, Stepping Stones has contributed over $100,000 to local and national charities.
Employees are encouraged to use their time and talents to engage with their local organizations to give back to the community. 5SRC employees stay connected with each other and their local efforts with their assistance to multiple Service Support and Community Organizations:
