Raymond recently held a Charity Day in our Southern California region, bringing employees together to give back to the community through hands-on volunteer work and acts of kindness. The day was split into two impactful experiences.
The first group boarded the Do Good Bus, an organization that combines team-building with community service. Their destination was the Orangewood Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting young people transitioning from foster care to independence. Our volunteers spent the day cleaning, painting, and completing repairs at one of Orangewood’s living facilities—making a difference while building connections with their teammates and having fun along the way.
The second group stayed onsite and created Kynd Kits to support various causes. Volunteers assembled:
-
Cancer Care Kits filled with comforting items for patients undergoing treatment, to be donated to nonprofit organization PIH Health, serving residents in Los Angeles and Orange County.
-
Fidget Blankets for children in hospitals, to be donated to PIH Health.
-
Rescue Dog Kits complete with handmade beds and toys for shelter animals, to be donated to nonprofit animal welfare organization Priceless Pets, located in Costa Mesa, California.
Each kit was designed to bring joy and support to someone in need.
To close out the day, everyone came together to celebrate their efforts with a visit from a dessert truck—sweetening a day full of generosity and teamwork.
