Giving back to our local communities and non-profit organizations is one of the most rewarding aspects of our work at Getting Hired.
In 2017, we participated in over 100 hours of community service collectively as a team. We wanted to help spread additional awareness to the organizations that we are passionate about in hopes that it will inspire others to increase their support to their local communities in 2018.
Painting tables at Port Discovery
In January, the Getting Hired team kicked off the year with a team activity by volunteering at Port Discovery in Baltimore. We spent our afternoon painting tables for the center’s kids and families to enjoy.
Wrapping up warm hats for #GoRed
In February, we supported the American Heart Association in Maryland with their #GoRed campaign. We helped with packaging red crocheted hats to be delivered to hospitals across the state for children with congenital heart defects.
I Run 4 Michael Membership
In March, our Account Manager, Sarah, was paired in the I Run 4 Michael program with a buddy with a disability to help motivate them to stay active! Sarah will do this by dedicating her workouts to her buddy on Facebook!
