2025 Summer of Service: Making a Difference Together

As the warm days of summer approach, we are thrilled to kick off another season of our popular Summer of Service program. This year, we are more committed than ever to making a positive impact in our communities and fostering a spirit of volunteerism among our team members.

Summer of Service offers something for everyone, with opportunities designed to cater to diverse interests and skills. From environmental conservation projects to supporting local food banks, there is a way for all of us to get involved. Our goal is to not only provide much-needed assistance to those in need but also to create lasting memories and strengthen the bonds within our team.

We encourage all team members to participate and make the most of this opportunity to give back. Whether you have a few hours to spare or can commit to a longer-term project, your contribution will make a significant difference. Let’s come together to make this summer one of service, compassion, and community spirit.

How to Participate

Download our Summer of Service Bingo Card. See how many boxes you can check off, or spark some friendly competition with your colleagues by challenging them to participate as well.

Head on over to our Volunteer Hub events calendar to learn about upcoming activities and events available in your area. 

Seek out local volunteer opportunities in your area that align with your interests. Volunteer Match is a great place to find inspiration. 

To make Summer of Service even sweeter, we’ll be awarding prizes all summer long through a series of Action Challenges. Everyone who completes an Action Challenge will be entered into a random prize drawing to win Summer of Service swag! Each month, everyone who shares their story with us via our website will be entered into a drawing to win a $500 donation to their favorite charity! The winner and charities will also be highlighted in an upcoming issue of our Spotlight newsletter!
