Awards & Achievements

Since buying Otto Service, Andrew and Terri, had a mission in mind to be able to give back to causes that touch their hearts personally and serve their community with excellence. The programs that they have created and the awards received are a direct reflection of that mission.

Giving Back to the Community

Terri’s father was a Vietnam Veteran in the Marine Corps. It was only fitting for that to be our first donation drive. She also enjoyed baking cookies for the organization in her free time.

Andrew’s and Terri’s twin boys were premature when they were born, so the NICU was their next task. Stay tuned for more ways you can be involved in helping some wonderful causes!

Here are some of the Community Events Otto Service Has Hosted:
