Chubb Participates In Employee Week Of Giving
Chubb has participated in a Week of Giving with 90 employees assisting seven community partners for nine distinct projects, resulting in 450 hours of volunteer service to the community.
The Employee Week of Giving, which took place October 14-18, helped support the following charitable organizations: Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation, Bermuda National Trust, Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo [BAMZ], The Eliza DoLittle Society, Meals on Wheels, The Salvation Army, and The Family Centre.
Employees cleared the hurricane-damaged working-garden at Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation, which is used for primary school programs, removed old plants and prepared the grounds for replanting at the Bermuda National Trust. In conjunction with the BAMZ, the Aquarium turtles were scrubbed and rinsed clean while Trunk Island was cleared and prepped for reforestation with endemic trees.
Through the generosity of Chubb employees, The Eliza DoLittle Society’s food warehouse received seven large boxes of supplies and joined the charity’s staff for the week’s food sorting and distribution. In the same vein, they worked side-by-side with Meals on Wheels to prepare hot meals and deliver them to the island’s homebound seniors.
The Salvation Army’s thrift store was refreshed through expert cleaning and skillful organizing, allowing it to be better situated for managing donations. Employees also worked alongside The Family Centre, making their youth ‘space’ more comfortable with updated painting, and boardroom more vibrant with encouraging quotes.
“These activities underscore Chubb’s commitment to social responsibility. It was an honor to support these charities and to have taken part in their ongoing efforts to have a positive impact on the local community,“ said Lori Dunstan, Chubb Charitable Foundation-Bermuda, Chair.
