My workplace has taken great

My workplace has taken great strides this year to go green and to help others. This summer we started a Food Bank Volunteer project, where about 10 employees take half a day "off" on a Wednesday once a month, and go volunteer at the Westchester Food Bank. They are paid for a full day's worth of work.

Instead of a big, expensive holiday party this year, our CEO is making everyone volunteer at the Food Bank on the 18th of December, half of us in the morning, the other half in the afternoon.

I think it's wonderful.

Thanks posting this, O! Btw,
