Mannington Names First Recipient of "Make a Difference" Award

Salem, NJ, APRIL 22, 2026-Helen Lumpkin, manager of strategic account service at Mannington’s Calhoun, Georgia location, is the first recipient of the Keith and Shirley Campbell “Make a Difference” award that honors associates who take exceptional steps to positively impact their community and the lives of others. 

This award was created to celebrate the selfless generosity, service, and community commitment demonstrated by Keith Campbell, Mannington Mills chairman of the board emeritus, and his wife Shirley Campbell. 

Throughout her 37 years at Mannington Mills, Helen has shown exceptional leadership and dedication in support of fundraising and volunteer efforts-both within the Calhoun community and in the current company-wide partnership with Feeding America. 

As part of the award, we donated $10,000 in Helen’s name to support Mannington’s neighbors in need: $5,000 to Feeding America and $5,000 to a local nonprofit of Helen’s choosing. She selected Voluntary Action Center, a food bank and community kitchen in Calhoun. In addition, Helen received a custom glass award created by Dan Cutrone, a renowned glass artist.
