At Ingalls Shipbuilding, the spirit of giving isn’t just about donations—it’s about improving lives in the communities we proudly serve. Shipbuilders like Crysta Scott, production planning and scheduler, embody this spirit through their dedication and generosity.
Crysta is no stranger to making an impact. From volunteering at company events to her work with Culture Connectors and Ingalls Champions, she’s a steadfast advocate for community engagement. Crysta also played a pivotal role in our 2023 blood drive campaign, demonstrating her commitment to helping others in any way she can.
For Crysta, contributing to the United Way of Jackson, George, and Greene Counties is a natural extension of her passion for giving back. Here’s what she shared about why she supports this important cause:
"I believe in paying it forward—what goes around comes around. There may be a day when I need help, so I want to give back now. I donate to United Way because they make a real difference, from helping kids with supplies to supporting adults who need a helping hand. Plus, with Payroll Deduction, it’s easy and flexible to choose the amount."
