Our Service with Purpose initiative continues to grow, this time with a global footprint.
This spring, team members from the West Coast, East Coast, and even internationally came together for EVALCORP’s second firm-wide volunteer event. From farming to food packing and service, classroom support, and environmental cleanup, the day reflected our collective commitment to giving back.
West Coast Impact: Orange County, Los Angeles, and Coachella Valley, California
The team posing with some of their bounty after harvesting
Kristen, Chrissy and Sally picking strawberries
In Orange County, our team was grateful for the opportunity to volunteer at The Giving Farm at Westminster High School where they harvested and packed strawberries. This organization delivers over 200,000 pounds of food annually to local families and provides vital nutrition and agriculture education.
Celina demonstrating tension force alongside students
In Los Angeles, Celina volunteered by chaperoning a group of 75 third graders on a field trip to Glendale Community College. In the STEM lab they learned about various physical forces, such as friction, tension, and gravity.
Alex at Kids Town
In Los Angeles, Alex volunteered at Kids Town, an early childhood education program run by the Koreatown Youth and Community Center. Activities included serving breakfast, supporting classroom activities, reading to students, and helping with cleanup.
Lorena and Kristen with another volunteer
Kristen and Lorena were privileged to support Well in the Desert, a Coachella Valley based nonprofit providing meals, advocacy and poverty prevention services to local community members. Well in the Desert operates out of multiple locations offering love, compassion, hope and care for 27 years, and serves more than 77,000 meals each year.
East Coast Impact: New York City, New York
Mariana works on the line to pack fresh produce.
On the East Coast, Mariana supported New York Cares by assembling food boxes for the West Side Campaign Against Hunger. This organization offers a supermarket-style food pantry along with housing and educational support for New Yorkers facing food insecurity.
International Impact: Dublin, Ireland
Shannon at her local beach
For the first time, Service with Purpose went international. In Dublin, Shannon took part in an independent beach cleanup, collecting a full bag of trash and over 100 cigarette butts to help preserve the local coastline.
From farms to classrooms, food pantries to beaches, our team was honored to stand alongside the organizations making a difference every day. It was a privilege to support their ongoing efforts and contribute to the important work they lead in our communities.
