Boxley’s Community Impact Goes Year Round
At Boxley, a company of Summit Materials, employees provide community support across Southwest Virginia by holding donation drives throughout the year. In 2023, we collected peanut butter for Food for Kids, essential items for Veterans Affairs through the Red Cross, and school supplies for a multitude of elementary schools.
Food For Kids
Our Support Center in Blue Ridge, Virginia, holds an annual peanut butter drive to support Food For Kids Weekend Pack-A-Sack. This program provides a bag of meals every weekend during the school year to eligible elementary school students to combat child hunger.
We offer further assistance by volunteering monthly to pack and deliver the bags to the various schools.

Explore The Earth at A Boxley Quarry
Boxley, a Summit Materials Company, hosts and participates in STEM-compliant programs that give future generations a stone-solid foundation for success.
Explore the Earth
We have a long history of working with elementary schools and teachers through our geology presentation and quarry tour that meet Virginia’s 5th-grade SOL standards.
Students learn about everything from the mining process, mining safety, and why mining and aggregate are essential to daily life. Then, during their tour, they witness a quarry during regular operating hours from our overlook.
“It’s great to be a part of the education process; most people don’t realize everything we would lose without aggregate. Metals, glass, plastics, carpet, vinyl siding, bricks, block, concrete, paved roads, the list goes on.” – Josh Wilson, Director of Product Support
Our partnership with The Virginia Museum of Natural History began in 2019 with a $10,000 gift to help the museum deliver various STEM-based educational programs. Held in-person and virtually, VMNH staff produces various programs to benefit schools, families, and general audiences throughout Virginia and beyond.
If you are an educator interested in setting up an Explore the Earth quarry tour for your students at one of our locations throughout southwest and central Virginia, please contact us at contact@boxley.com or 1 (888) 442-8878.

Boxley Receives Recognition for Land Reclamation Project
At Boxley, a company of Summit Materials, we continually seek ways to practice environmental stewardship.
In 2022, we received the Virginia Land Reclamation Award from the Virginia Department of Energy and the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance (VTCA) for the reclamation project at Boxley Blue Ridge quarry—we’re considered one of the best in the state!
Exceeding Virginia Energy Department standards for safety, stability, environmental responsibility, and appearance, the reclamation included engineering proper slopes for safety and stability, planting premium seed mix to create an attractive vegetative cover for soil stabilization, and benching the slopes to channel stormwater runoff into the quarry pit. As a result, the quarry operation meets 100% of its production water needs captured rainwater which is recycled.

Some Boxley Employees Travel — We Keep Them Connected
Boxley’s Team360 gives skid steer operators like Lee Butler and Isaiah Andrews the opportunity to stay connected with company information even when they’re on the road for up to a week at a time.
Life Of a Skid Steer Operator
“I’ve always worked construction, but I wanted to be on the road with an asphalt paving crew, driving small equipment. Boxley, a Summit Materials Company, provided me with that opportunity, and I’m glad I took it. I work with the best crew ever,” says Lee Butler, Salem Paving Crew (pictured above).
Lee and Isaiah start their days by preparing asphalt equipment and determining the job site’s needs. It’s then their responsibility to operate the skid steer, a four-wheel or two-track machine that prepares the roadbed for new paving by removing asphalt millings and stones, which are recycled at the asphalt plant to make new asphalt.
Isaiah Andrews, Lynchburg paving crew, started as a general laborer before passing his Tasks Training certification to become a skid steer driver. He suggests, “Show up to work ready to learn with a positive attitude, and you can grow within the company and reach your personal goals.”
Being on the road is a large part of joining our paving crews. Lee and Isaiah agree, “Getting to see different areas of Virginia, basically, every other week is a lot better than being stuck in the same spot every day. And Boxley works hard to keep us connected and informed with what’s going on at the company.”
By employing the use of smartphones, the Boxley TeamApp, and internal TV networks, the communication team bridged the gap for those who work odd hours or are on the road. Employees can access safety updates, intercompany communication, prize-awarding contests, and more without a company email.

Whether your desired career path involves an office, job site, or traveling, check out our job listings and come to a company that will keep you connected. If you have interest or questions about pursuing a career within the Summit Materials family, please get in touch with Manisha Hall at (540) 777-7613.
Boxley Recruiter Provides Quality Control for the Employee Experience
At Boxley, a Summit Materials Company, quality control isn’t just seen in the field. We have a team of talent acquisition professionals, like Manisha Hall, who work to find the best candidates for the company and start them on their prosperous career paths.
“It’s rewarding to match fantastic people with great long-term opportunities where they can learn, grow, and in some cases, change their lives,” says Manisha, Sr. Talent Acquisition Lead.

Manisha came on board as a recruiter with Boxley in January 2021, giving her a first-hand understanding of post-pandemic job-hunting. With this insight, combined with over 15 years of Human Resource experience and a Society of Human Resource Management- Senior Certified Professional credential, Manisha leads projects and contributes to a team committed to standardizing and prioritizing employee value propositions, onboarding challenges, and hiring best practices.
Less than six months after joining the company, Manisha expanded to the Regional Recruiter position before becoming the Senior Talent Acquisition Lead in March 2022. She now focuses not only on Boxley but on Summit Material’s entire East Region, along with Continental Cement.
“Experience, work history, dedication, and passion about what you do matter more in our industry now than ever before,” Manisha emphasizes to those considering the industry. “Formal education is beneficial to a degree, but there are many paths that can lead to a successful career that simply require the will to work hard and ability and willingness to continue to learn—from others, from a book, and hands-on!”
