SWCA Gives Back

This April, SWCA launched a companywide Gives Back campaign, Spring into Action. In honor of Earth Day, this month-long campaign focused on environmental stewardship efforts across the country. 

The Fun(ds) for Food silent auction raised a total of $16,245 through employee donations to 37 local and national organizations supporting food security, company donations on behalf of auction prize winners, and a matching company grant to Ample Harvest, a nationwide platform creating systemic change by connecting gardeners who have surplus produce to food pantries in over 4,200 communities.

Employees from SWCA’s Denver and Fort Collins offices participated in The Nature Conservancy’s project to plant 10,000 Ponderosa Pine trees in strategically selected areas of the 2002 Hayman Fire’s burn scars on the Colorado Front Range.

The Amherst office participates in the Source to Sea Cleanup, a yearly trash cleanup of the Connecticut River System that borders Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

Employees in Pasadena participate in the annual Science in the Park event, which brings together science-based businesses, educational institutions, and conservation organizations to foster awareness and appreciation of Orange County’s rich cultural heritage and natural history.

Employees in Phoenix participated in World Cleanup Day, spending a morning picking up trash at Encanto Park, near midtown Phoenix. 

Employees in the Austin office regularly volunteer with Austin Pets Alive!, which specializes in protecting and helping animals that are in danger of being euthanized. Volunteer events have included campus clean-ups at the shelter and organizing inventory at the Austin Pets Alive! Thrift Store.  

The Arlington office partnered with Carry the Load (CTL) and spent an afternoon cleaning headstones of fallen heroes in Texas.

Staff from SWCA’s Phoenix and corporate office visited St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance and surprised their staff with a treat, to show appreciation for all that they do in our community!

Employees from the Honolulu office spent a day at the zoo, teaching the public about invasive species on the island and how they can help prevent the spread of them in their own way.
