IronMountain Solutions Partners with Kids to Love by Donating $100,000 Driveway to Davidson Farms Cottage Community
March 14, 2022 – IronMountain Solutions is humbled to be able to contribute $100,000 for campus improvement of Kids to Love to include landscaping and a driveway to access the campus for the young women transitioning out of foster care and into the cottage community.
This driveway will be a necessary addition for the safety and well-being of future residents as they continue their education or begin careers while remaining under the guidance of the Kids to Love team of mentors. Construction of the cottage homes are underway with move-in dates set for mid-2022.
President and CEO, Hank Isenberg stated, “Thanks to the vision of Kids to Love, I am honored to witness the future growth of the Cottage Community. My hope is that the program builds the path to success for these residents.”
The overarching mission of Kids to Love is to meet the immediate needs of children living in foster care. Davidson Farms, of Kids to Love, provides a refuge for local orphaned and abandoned tween and teen girls. After these young ladies transition out of foster care and into a life of independence, they’re often met with challenges many young adults may face. When asked about the future of the Cottage Community, Lee Marshall said, “When our girls age out of Davidson Farms they are still in need of loving family. We must continue to be a stable force for them as they work on their education and/or career. They will learn how to live independently, but with continual guidance and support.”

The bird watch will look out on an enclosed landscape designed to attract local and migrating bird species, allowing guests to observe the birds in their natural environment from behind a one-way glass. Other interactive elements will include giant bird nests to teach learners about bird behaviors and model tiny homes to demonstrate how guests can attract birds in their own backyards.
“Tweetsville represents the Garden’s dedication to connecting people to their environment in new and surprising ways,” said Sue Wagner, chief executive officer of the Garden. “This is an authentic experience that invites guests of all ages to foster a deeper understanding of how plants, animals, and people rely on each other to create a healthy environment. By sparking curiosity about birds and their native habitats, we can inspire guests to deepen their personal connection to the natural world and become stewards of the green spaces around them.”
With both guided learning resources and areas for free play, Tweetsville will offer a hands-on educational experience that encourages children and caregivers to learn and discover together. The experience also presents new opportunities for public engagement at the Garden through future programming such as field trips, classes, youth camps, and special events.
The Garden has long been a popular destination for birders and bird enthusiasts, as well as a supporter of protecting birdlife. The Lewis Birding Trail winds through the Garden and is open for guests’ enjoyment year-round, and the Garden is listed as a birding hotspot in eBird, a global birding data project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
The first phase of Tweetsville, including the bird watch station, is scheduled to open to the public in February 2021 and will be included with regular Garden admission. More information about Tweetsville can be found at http://www.hsvbg.org/Tweetsville

IronMountain Solutions Recognized as one of Huntsville’s Best Places to Work for 5th Consecutive Year
June 17, 2020 – IronMountain Solutions is proud to announce that we have been recognized for the 5th consecutive year as one of Huntsville-Madison County’s “Best Places to Work.” Based solely on employee feedback this award honors companies that create an excellent workplace culture through employee engagement, strong leadership and communication. IMS received the Silver medal in the large business (101-250 employees) category.
“2020 has been an unprecedented year to say the least, says IMS President & CEO Hank Isenberg. A global pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate what a typical workday looks like. In a time when a work-life balance is even harder to achieve – we have continued the ‘Extreme Customer Focus™’ our customers know to expect from us. It is encouraging to know that even before COVID-19 changed how and where we work, employees recognized our efforts to create a company culture that allows them to succeed professionally and personally.”
The Huntsville-Madison County Chamber of Commerce presented the awards on Wednesday, June 17 during a virtual ceremony. Congratulations to all our friends in the community who were also recognized.
IMS Employees Donating Time & Talents to COVID-19 Efforts
April 30, 2020 – Many IMS employees are stepping up right now donating their time and talents to help efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
With having a daughter, Annie, on the front lines during this COVID-19 pandemic, Michael Jordan (IPS division) and his wife, Susie have stepped in to help with the lack of face masks for our medical personnel. With help from a friend with a 3-D printer, Susie gets the materials and sews the headband while Michael fabricates and assembles the face shields. They have also picked up and distributed hand-sewn masks to Huntsville hospital. The masks were sewn by the church Michael attends, the Madison United Methodist Sewing Club. They have sewn and provided over 1200 masks to hospitals, medical staff, first responders, and essential workers in and around the Huntsville area. Michael and Susie, thank you for your selflessness during this dark time. We are proud to have you on the IMS team!
Raising Men Lawn Care Service (RMLCS) is a group that donates their time and efforts to mow lawns for those in need. This group also has recently started a charity auction which one of our own, Russ Dayton (IPS division) is a crucial part of. Russ was approached by the founder of RMLCS, Rodney Smith Jr., to do some paint work on lawn mowers that would be auctioned off for charity. Since Russ likes to include charitable work and donations as part of his home business operations, he thought being involved with the lawn mower project would be a great way to support RMLCS and their community service mission.
Russ has completed two lawn mowers for RMLCS and is working on his third. Each mower has a theme related to the charity auction. The first mower was an American Flag which will be auctioned off to support Gold Star Mothers. The second mower was dedicated to our men and women in blue and it will be auctioned off to support the fallen police officers. The one he is working on now is dedicated to the medical workers and first responders who are on the frontlines of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Its auction will support the urgently needed medical care. It takes Russ around 1-2 weeks to paint each mower. Once his paint job is done, the mowers are reassembled into a fully operational lawn mower. Russ, we are proud to have you on the IMS team. Keep up the great work!
Employee Peaks Fund Contributors Vote to Support Two Disaster Relief Funds
April 29, 2020 – The IMS Employee Peaks Fund is best known for our semi-annual grants that support nonprofits across our community. Traditionally, nonprofits submit an application, which is reviewed for eligibility by the Board of Directors, and then eligible candidates are voted on by Employee Peaks Fund participants for final selection.
However, events over the last two months have presented opportunities for the Peaks Fund to support our community in different ways. In early March, employee participants voted to support the Middle Tennessee Disaster Relief Fund established to provide relief to areas affected by the tornadoes in the Nashville areas with a $3,000 grant. Several IMS employees live in the affected areas and many extended family members also live in those areas. 99% of our employee participants voted in favor of supporting this relief effort.
More recently, the Coronavirus pandemic has created an unprecedented threat to both our health and economic livelihood. In early April, the employee participants were presented with an opportunity to support the Huntsville/Madison County Community Foundation Emergency Relief Fund. This fund was activated specifically to support local nonprofits that have been heavily impacted by the economic impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. 100% of our employee participants votes were cast in favor of supporting the Relief Fund. Nearly 90% of those votes were cast in favor of awarding a $5,000 grant to this cause. These funds will be used to provide basic needs and health and wellness resources related to the COVID-19 crisis for our community.
We are proud of the Employee Peaks Fund history of support for nonprofits in our community. We are also proud that we’ve been able to lend a hand, outside of our typical grant process, to those in need during time of crisis. Thank you to all our employee contributors!
Heart Walk Fundraising Underway
April 17, 2020 – Typically, this time of year we would be gearing up for the Huntsville Heart Walk. Because of COVID-19 the event has been postponed to Saturday, June 27. Fundraising efforts are underway now and we hope you will join Team IMS in our goal of raising $15,000. Already, we are off to a great start! On the City-Wide Heart Rally Day on April 16, Team IMS raised more than $2,500 in one day putting us in the Top 3 local companies for fundraising and recruiting!
While we know that COVID-19 has created some new challenges for all of us, it is more important than ever to rally around our community organizations. The Heart Walk supports the American Heart Association’s efforts to raise critical, life-saving funds in not only the fight against heart disease but now also COVID-19 complications. 120 million Americans have one or more cardiovascular conditions that put them at a higher risk for COVID-19 complications. The American Heart Association’s mission is more important than ever as we work to fast-track scientific projects to
IMS Group at the 2019 Heart Walk
investigate the specific cardiovascular implications of COVID-19 and continue mission-critical work.
Heart health is a cause we strongly believe in supporting. We all know someone who has been impacted by heart disease. IMS President/CEO, Hank Isenberg is a triple bypass survivor and is a very active supporter of the American Heart Association. In previous years, he has served as chair of the Heart Walk & Heart Ball and helped raise awareness and life-saving dollars for heart health.
The IMS Well-Being Committee invites you, your family and friends to join Hank and IMS in supporting the Heart Walk. Sign up today!
IMS Proud Sponsor of “Tweetsville”
March 18, 2020 – IMS is proud to sponsor an enhancement that will be made to the Children’s Garden at The Huntsville Botanical Garden. It is called Tweetsville. The project is expected to break ground sometime this year pending any possible delays because of COVID-19.
Through this project, the Botanical Garden will provide children and their caregivers with new ways of learning in an outdoor classroom, teaching lessons about native habitats. They will learn what a native habitat is, why it is relevant to them, and even how urban expansion affects native habitats.
Why the focus on birds? The Garden is the home to the Lewis Birding Trail which is devoted to the conservation, education and enjoyment of bird life. The Garden is listed as a birding “Hot Spot” by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon. Much like the butterflies and turtles in the Purdy Butterfly House, birds are charismatic creatures that can surprise and delight guests of all ages.
New Hope Children’s Clinic Supply Drive
February 27, 2020 – IMS held a supply drive to benefit the New Hope Children’s Clinic. During the month of February, employees “showed the love” donating various supply items and toys. Thanks to all our employees who took part in this supply drive! If you would like to learn more about the New Hope Children’s Clinic or find out how to donate, visit New Hope Children’s Clinic.
