The organizations served by this year’s Employee Volunteer Day included: TAUNTON AREA – Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro South, City of Taunton – Weir Waterfront Park, My Brother’s Keeper and Old Colony YMCA; ATTLEBORO AREA – Attleboro/Norton YMCA (Camp Finberg), Old Colony Habitat for Humanity and Hockomock Area YMCA; GREATER NEW BEDFORD – Boys & Girls Club of Greater New Bedford, Gifts to Give, My Brother’s Keeper, Sharing the Harvest and Y.O.U. (Youth Opportunities Unlimited); GREATER FALL RIVER – Battleship Cove and Boys & Girls Clubs of Fall River; and RHODE ISLAND – City of Pawtucket and Federal Hill House.

The improvements you made are already making a difference and our youth are benefitting from the enhanced environment you helped create.”
