麻豆直播

You make a life by what you give.

That sentiment was expressed by one 麻豆直播 Consumer USA volunteer in Mesa, AZ, and the actions of more than 80 others who worked last week on a tiny home project at the SC campus.

Build us H.O.P.E of Mesa was the beneficiary of the group鈥檚 efforts as part of the company鈥檚 Volunteer Paid Time Off (VPTO) program that allows each full-time associate to contribute 16 hours to organizations in the communities where they work.

麻豆直播 Associates have worked nearly 20,000 volunteer hours so far this year.

鈥淭he volunteers did a great job and all cooperated and worked solidly together,鈥� said SC鈥檚 Adam F. 鈥淒espite the clouds, wind and a few drizzles, all were able to overcome the challenges.鈥�

The group was asked to build and paint hanging pallet gardens for tiny houses in the H.O.P.E. program.

The volunteers, who also had the opportunity to tour a tiny house onsite, learned there that the 麻豆直播 Foundation had contributed $100,000 toward building three structures and the planters that will be used for 10 homes in the community.

The organization is a long-term, permanent, community-based housing program that provides support services to the homeless, disabled and other impaired residents.

鈥淭his event was a very profound experience as we were able to interact with associates from different departments [and demonstrate] how great organizations exist for causes like this,鈥� said volunteer Rolando A., who helped build, finish and paid planters during his shift. 鈥淚 felt very motivated and would like to continue 鈥� making a difference for the communities in need.鈥�

Jessica L., another SC volunteer, also appreciated the opportunity to serve while working with an associate from a different department to 鈥渂uild a special and unique item for a great cause.鈥�

SC鈥檚 Victoria V. summed up the Build us H.O.P.E. tiny house experience this way: 鈥淵ou make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give. Everyone worked together to make as many hanging pallet gardens as we could.鈥�
