Workplace Giving Campaign

A workplace giving campaign is an annual employee giving charitable campaign, through which employees are given the chance to support their community through their workplace and businesses are then able to help make philanthropy a part of their corporate future and community outlook, at no cost.

Participating in the Community Storehouse workplace giving campaign qualifies businesses for full partner advantages, free advertising, boosts employee morale, creates a closer working relationship among employees, and at no cost to the business can easily be implemented by the human resources agent the same as any other payroll deduction.

While workplace giving was designed to improve American charities' efficiencies, benefits exist for both the employee and the participating charity. For the employee, these programs offer the convenience of automatic payroll deductions without losting the tax benefits of charitable giving. For the charity, even a small pledge from a small number of employees makes an impact when it is multiplied by participating employee to employee, business to business.

Can you make a difference? YES you can!

Ask your employer to participate in the Community Storehouse Workplace Giving Campaign. Through our campaign, we seek area businesses to allow employees the choice to automatically deduct a donation of $2.00 per month (50 cents a week) to be earmarked for our essential emergency services.

Our goal through this campaign is to secure enough funding through employee giving to support our food purchasing needs (the bulk of our yearly budget) to feed the hungry in Martinsville and Henry County.

Our programs rely on the commitment and dedication of our supporters and volunteers, whose contribution of product, funds, equipment, and labor enable us to feed the hungry. Help us meet our ongoing needs - join our workplace giving campaign and make a huge difference in our community!
