Staff Reports
The holidays are here. For many, that means wrapping gifts and making a mad dash to the post office to ensure they get to their destination on time.
AT&T Florida is included in that group.
Employees at the telecommunications company have put in dozens of volunteer hours to help spread holiday cheer.
Members of the Florida AT&T Veterans employee group have prepared and shipped 100 holiday care packages to troops overseas. The packages included food, toiletries, clothing, phone calling cards, letters from students and Cub Scouts and other treats.
Additionally, members of the AT&T Global Legal Command Center in North Palm Beach led a toy drive that resulted in more than 150 gifts donated to foster children served by the Children’s Home Society.
The volunteer spirit at AT&T Florida is no Christmas miracle — the company puts time into helping Florida communities year-round.
In October, the company announced $300,000 in contributions and hundreds of volunteer hours served at Miami-based organizations dedicated to helping youth and young adults succeed in school and their future careers.
It’s also pitched in with support for a youth leadership program in Tampa.
With the year coming to a close, AT&T gave a tally on what its efforts have produced in 2019: 1.5 million volunteer hours and $31 million in charitable contributions through their employee giving programs.
