Empowering Communities Through Charitable Giving and Local Engagement
January 16, 2025
Founded with a vision to make the world a better place, Verdantas’ true strength lies in its people.
This past Holiday Season, several offices organized local giving events to support community organizations. In total, over $14,000 was raised, along with more than 350 toys collected and a significant number of food items. Each office’s initiative received $1,000 in support from our Volunteer and Philanthropy Committee to help maximize impact. The generosity and commitment shown across the company created a meaningful difference in communities across the country.
Highlights of Verdantas’ giving efforts include:
- Dublin, OH: The team donated $1,575 to Habitat for Humanity.
- Bedminster, NJ: The team collected 50 toys for Toys for Tots.
- Southern Delaware: The office adopted a family from the Smyrna School District.
