Charities We Love Supporting

Giving back to the community has been an important part of Service Management Systems since its founding in 1988. We work with different organizations to benefit children, individuals and families in need.

Habitat for Humanity

SMS Holdings sponsors a Habitat for Humanity Build Day in Nashville every year. Volunteers from the Customer Support Center work hard to build homes for deserving families.

This program has special meaning, as several of our own employees have been recipients of homes from Habitat for Humanity. It's also another great way to make a positive impact on the Greater Nashville Metropolitan area.

Service Management Systems is a partner and contributor to the Simon Youth Foundation’s Education Resource Centers across the country. The mission of Simon Youth Foundation is to foster and improve educational opportunities, career development and life skills that transform the lives of at-risk youth through focused programs and initiatives with public school and post-secondary education partners.
