Oxymoron? In some people’s minds, but this can and does happen. How?
Lunch time volunteering.
TriCAP and Pine Cone Vision employees created Cards of EnCOURAGEment over their lunch times. These cards are sent to service members overseas.
Avon Lumber One employees created fleece blankets that were donated to Catholic Charities Emergency Services. They have already found good homes and are keeping children and adults warm when the heat is turned down to save money for groceries and other basic necessities.
We all need to pitch in. That’s what these volunteers did. They found a way to be involved that included positive time with their co-workers.
