{I thought it was a fantastic event. Really enjoyed being a part of something that impacts so many local people. Thank you for doing this!

{Spending the time with my coworkers contributed to a sense of accomplishment for the day and left me with a positive mental state. I was able to enrich someone's life today!

{Gathering to volunteer with my team really helped remind us of what’s important, strengthened connections between staff members, and left us all feeling inspired. It was amazing to meet and support passionate people who make the world a better place. Lots of us are going to go back and continue to volunteer.

{BVU has typically organized a volunteer project for us every year, but 2021 was different. After nearly two years of the pandemic and remote work, we were anxious to do something in which all our partners could participate outdoors. BVU coordinated a Lake Shore clean-up project at Edgewater and Bonnie Park for our team. It was a delightful day of camaraderie and community. This afternoon of engagement with colleagues helped our team transition during our return to office. It reminded us that we are at our best when helping others – which is part of our client service commitment at Northern Trust.

{Business Volunteers Unlimited has been an incredible resource for our nonprofit organization. Through their team’s coordination, Lake Erie Nature & Science Center has welcomed several corporate volunteer groups to maintain outdoor areas and assist with special projects this summer. Thank you to BVU for connecting us with passionate individuals and helping the Center share our mission.

{BVU did an amazing job coordinating all the wonderful volunteers for McGregor’s Carnival Day. The Medical Mutual team spent meaningful time with residents, helping to enhance their quality of life and improving their mental, physical, and psychological well-being.  The staff and residents at McGregor are happy to partner with BVU.

{There was a strong sense of accomplishment and feeling like a community after spending the afternoon together supporting children's literacy. The experience and information gained encouraged me to prioritize reading more often in my daily life.

{We got connected to the Cohen Cares team through BVU. The group supported grounds work, assembled picnic tables, reorganized admin spaces, made kits for homeless seniors and much more. This team’s efforts made for an impactful day of team building. We’re so happy to share our mission with these corporate volunteers and appreciate the effort and time the group put into our work.

{Volunteering was an AWESOME experience. In addition to spending time with the dogs at the Humane Society, it was so nice to connect with strangers from our company who have now become friends. I look forward to more of these opportunities in the years to come. Thank you for putting this together.
