Good Neighbours Employee Volunteer Program
Each year our employees roll up their sleeves and volunteer hundreds of hours every year, serving on boards and committees or lending support to local charitable events and programs. The Good Neighbours Employee Volunteer Program recognizes the efforts of employees and Board Members who volunteer at least 5 hours each year for a local charity of their choice. Those who qualify receive $150 each for their charity.
