Virtuous

Yesterday was Virtuous Volunteer Day! So, we hit pause. ⏸️ And by “we,” we’re talking all of our employees. 25 members of our Phoenix-based crew headed over to our customer, Grand Canyon University, to help the school with tech-related initiatives: unboxing, refurbishing, and testing e-bikes. Plus, refurbishing Chromebooks. The rest of our team? Busy volunteering across 40+ cities in the U.S. and beyond. Serving approx. 100 nonprofits. We believe radical generosity is rooted in relationships, and Virtuous Volunteer Day is one of the most powerful ways we put that belief into action. #VirtuousVolunteerDay
