Giving Back

No Excuses!

For the entire month of March, our Community Relations department gives our employees everything they need to get out and volunteer. From organized team-building activities to weekend projects, every employee is encouraged to give back to the community at some point during the month. We ask our employees to try and make “No Excuses” for not participating in the many wonderful activities available to help others in need.

Drive Away Hunger

In the month of June, we work with Harvesters Community Food Network for our Drive Away Hunger campaign – complete with a CANstruction contest!  Harvesters feeds 97,150 children a year through their network of pantries, food kitchens and shelters. They also provide more than 20,155 BackSnacks to kids every weekend.  There are many ways that families, organizations, faith-based groups and companies can make a difference by donating food to Harvesters.
