JMX Brands, the largest online retailer of Amish furniture at www.dutchcrafters.com, recently awarded Category Manager Sarah Carter with the Service Award during its annual awards ceremony. The award recognizes one employee’s spirit of service and generosity, which builds community inside and outside of the organization.

During the ceremony, Director of Marketing and Giving Committee Chairperson Debra Gingerich highlighted Carter’s “tireless community building” in the Sarasota, Fla. office. After recently relocating to the LaGrange, Ind. office, her commitment to building community at JMX Brands continued when Carter volunteered to provide the meal for the awards ceremony.

Carter joined JMX Brands in August 2021 as a product category marketing assistant and was quickly promoted two months later to category manager.

“Outside of JMX, Sarah has connected with the Goshen Interfaith Hospitality Network, which was a recipient of our year end giving challenge,” said Gingerich. “She has gotten to know them as an extension of the Giving Committee, but she deepened that relationship by regularly volunteering for the organization.”

The JMX Brands Service Award was established in 2018 to promote giving, one of the company’s core values. Carter will receive a day off work to volunteer, and a donation will be given in her name to an organization of her choosing. Carter has selected Goshen Interfaith Hospitality Network to receive that donation.
