2020 was a year unlike any other. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread world-wide, stories of personal tragedies, societal challenges, and economic difficulties followed. However, in the face of the greatest health crisis the world has seen in over a century, 2020 was also a year that brought families – both our personal and professional ones – closer together and ignited an extraordinary desire to help and support each other in our collective time of need.
At Fortress Solutions, the same can be said. Our Fortress Family was forever changed in numerous ways due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but in the face of the unknown and fear, we bonded together as a team and supported our local communities when they needed it the most.
As our charity committees in each of the Fortress offices ramped up, our teams were able to support various charities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

And these efforts do not even include the endless food, school, and pet supplies that the generous Fortress employees donated throughout all of 2020.
And we are not stopping there. The Fortress employees have already stepped up in 2021 and are currently supporting new initiatives as this is being written. For example, our Texas team has partnered with Heroes for Children and are participating in their 1,800 Challenge, which benefits the children and families of the 1,800 children who are diagnosed with cancer each year.
As a company, Fortress Solutions believes it is our social responsibility to help and support the local communities with which we serve in. Our employees embrace this, and go above and beyond, making us prouder with each effort we take.
We would like to say thank you to all our dedicated employees and thank you to our communities who embrace us. We cannot wait to see what 2021 holds in store for Fortress Solutions.
