Buckingham Foundation works to initiate and implement positive change in communities tied to Buckingham Companies. We strive to make a difference where our employees work, our residents live and in the communities we build.
On Friday, May 21 the Buckingham Builders gathered with passion and determination. Together, the team raised the internal and external walls of April and Neontae’s homes. We also learned the Buckingham Builders are currently the TOP fundraising team raising $15,704 so far. Five members of the team raised over $1,000!
An essential component of corporate giving, especially during a challenging year like 2020, proved to be growing employee engagement in philanthropy, volunteerism, and community involvement. To do this, community-minded employers retooled their approach to find meaningful ways to aid in the crisis while helping their staff safely donate their time, talent, and treasure.
We are excited to launch Move for Hunger, a national program which addresses food insecurity and food waste, on April 1. We will be launching this initiative at seven Buckingham sites for a pilot program and will evaluate the initiative throughout the year to assess expanding the program to other sites.
