Celebrate Juneteenth
Juneteenth is a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans that originated in Galveston, Texas.
Holiday Volunteering – Yes, There is Time!
For many of us, the holidays represent and ideal time to do some volunteering with your co-workers. A lot of CSR teams get bombarded with last minute requests that become difficult to fulfill. Here’s a quick list with links to volunteering pages which may make things easier for you to help find a good volunteering opportunity.

Blue Cross associates share the love with local seniors for Valentine’s Day
Each year nearly 400 local seniors receive valentines put together by volunteers at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota.
Feed My Starving Children was open for volunteering at all eight of its permanent packing facilities where over 1900 volunteers packed meals for 2 hours on this MLK Day of Service. These volunteers were able to pack enough food to provide a FMSC meal a day for a year to over 1,100 children in countries like Nicaragua, Uganda and Haiti.
