ESCANABA — EMP has announced its community partnership and financial support for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area (BBBS). According to Paul Harvey, vice president of EMP, “As a company, we’re committed to do our part to positively impact lives of Delta County youth. Over many years, EMP employees have inspired confidence, competence, and caring to the mission of BBBS. That same support continues and is needed even more so in today’s environment.”
