by Bruce Parkinson
Collette recently held its first Global Week of Service.
Global guided travel company Collette held its first-ever Global Week of Service recently, mobilizing employees across all offices and remote locations to fight food insecurity.
In response to rising rates of food insecurity in many places, Collette employees, partners, and travel advisors came together for a week of volunteerism that spanned over 20 communities in Canada, the United States and Australia.
Highlights included:
- 100,674 meals packed at Collette’s Pawtucket headquarters in partnership with The Pack Shack.
- 1,116 volunteer hours logged worldwide, with teams supporting hunger-relief organizations in states across the U.S. and global offices in Toronto, Vancouver, and Sydney.
- Partnerships with local nonprofits including FeedRI, Pawtucket Soup Kitchen, YMCA of Pawtucket, Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket, and more.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to creating real impact for real families,” said Melissa Snape, Head of Corporate Citizenship at Collette. “When our teams and partners act together with purpose, we move towards strengthening communities and a world where food insecurity is in the past.”
Collette’s Global Week of Service brought together employees, families, and community partners to live out the company’s core values: “Be Happy, Be Responsible, Be Trailblazers, and Be the Legacy.”
