The employees of ConServe Inc. take great pride in supporting their community—especially during the holiday season. In the hopes of making the holidays just a bit brighter, the ConServe team provided significant funding to several local organizations that support children and families struggling to overcome some heavy burdens during its November Jeans for Charity fundraiser.
ConServe, an ACA International member company based in Fairport, New York, also demonstrated its gratitude to veterans for their personal sacrifices, dedication, service and commitment to their country.
In November, ConServe donated to the Hillside Special Santa program, Veterans Outreach Center and Eagle Star Housing.
“We are incredibly grateful to ConServe for thinking of Veterans Outreach Center and local veterans,” said Veterans Outreach Center Executive Director and U.S. Army veteran Laura Stradley. “Every dollar counts toward ensuring the brave men and women who fought for our freedoms have the services and support needed to reintegrate into the community. This donation will go a long way toward providing job training, housing, wellness services, suicide prevention and awareness, and so much more for those who served us.”
ConServe’s Jeans for Charity initiative began in 2008 when employees had an idea to launch a program that would provide a way of giving back to their communities. ConServe employees can participate in monthly charitable donations, benefiting a wide range of not-for-profit organizations, in exchange for having the option of dressing down and wearing jeans to work for the entire month. The funds raised by the employees’ generosity are supplemented by the organization’s matching gift program.
“We cannot thank ConServe and their amazing staff enough for their wonderful donation during this holiday season,” said Zach Fuller, executive director of Eagle Star Housing. “Their support demonstrates not only what a phenomenal organization they are, but their continued commitment to our community and the veterans that proudly served our country. This donation will help ESH support homeless veterans during the holidays by continuing to provide safe housing and warm meals.”
