Our Chicago team had the pleasure of volunteering with the Anti-Cruelty Society last week.
During our visit, team members learned all about the organization’s history, what they do to serve people and animals throughout Chicago, and how our team can help be a part of that impact.
Volunteers even made tug toys and no-sew beds for the shelter’s residents!
It was a great afternoon filled with service and furry snuggles.
Our Lerner and Rowe Gives Back team hosted an impromptu Las Vegas Christmas toy giveaway with the Clark County School District Police Department outreach team in the neighborhood behind The STRAT Hotel, Casino, and SkyPod.
500 children and their families were beaming with smiles while visiting with Santa as Glen Lerner and team helped him hand out toys.
“Of all of the community outreach activities that we do in over a half a dozen states, I absolutely love taking a box-truck filled with toys into economically depressed neighborhoods and passing them out to the children and families. Seeing the look of joy on the children and their parent’s faces is one of the most rewarding of experiences. What a fitting way to end our 2022 community outreach season!” –Glen Lerner
