My company does a volunteer activity every year to promote giving back to our local community. This year they organized a canned food and supplies drive for the Placer County Food Bank and the Placer County ASPCA.
There were two competitions within our office. The office was divided into groups based on the work we do/our work teams (i.e. Transportation Group, Water Group, Construction Management Group, etc). The first part of the competition was to see which group could bring in the most food/supplies. The second was a competition for who could build the "most creative" structure with their food/supplies. Unfortunately, I only have photos of our team's structure and the winning structure, but I thought I'd share them here.
Our team (Water Group) built a dog house and used towels (ASPCA supplies) to create dogs and a bone and a dog bowl. We thought it was particularly neat since it was for the ASPCA. But we didn't win.
The Transportation Group put this together, and it really was pretty amazing. Check out the billboards and the trucks! I also love how they were able to build the ramps using different size cans. Very creative, and completely group-appropriate.
Like I said, I wish I had pictures of the other structures. It was such a fun and creative way to do good for our local community. And best of all, our company was able to donate 50% more food/supplies than our original goal. The entire thing was such a great success.
I really love my job, my work, and my company.
