Heartwarming. Humbling. Joyful. Perhaps, most of all, rewarding.
国产黑料吃瓜泄密入口 Consumer USA (SC) associates used words like that to describe volunteering for the Salvation Army, Girl Scouts, Special Olympics, North Texas Food Bank and other causes in 2018.
The experiences clearly had a profound effect on those who participated through the company鈥檚 Volunteer Paid Time Off (VPTO) program that provides more than 5,000 associates up to two days off per year to donate time and energy to their communities.
That represents thousands of hours spent on activities meant to strengthen the community.
鈥淚鈥檓 so proud to work for an organization that allows us to volunteer our time to those in need,鈥� said one volunteer. 鈥淚t really shows how much SC values its employees and the communities around us.鈥�
The VPTO program represents no small commitment by the lender, which is based in Dallas, TX, but also operates in Arizona and Colorado and through a national sales team. But it鈥檚 a win-win situation that has worked well for the company and the organizations that received help.
鈥淭he work would not happen without our dedicated volunteers,鈥� said a Girl Scout leader. So, in case you missed them following are some of the VPTO stories that we published last year:

Preparing the next generation. Volunteers from SC worked with Junior Achievement by teaching South Dallas middle-schoolers subjects ranging from economics to budgeting and financial life skills.
鈥淚t is a great feeling to know that I am helping to make a difference in someone鈥檚 life,鈥� said an SC associate who volunteered at the food bank. 鈥淲e made a difference in many lives with our contribution. Giving back through volunteer work, community service or just being nice to a stranger is the way I live! You never know when our lives could change.鈥�
