Here is the round-up from our Gives Back Week:
Monday, July 22nd – 3rd & Goal Foundation - 14th Annual Blue Jacket Golf Outing
We had 18 BTTS staff members who served in various ways through registration and course activities. Volunteers for the first part of the day helped with registration, passed out swag, and collected waivers. The volunteers from the afternoon helped on the golf course, hosting various games and helping 3rd & Goal reach their financial goal by getting golfers to participate in multiple games.
3rd & Goal went on to raise more than $175,000!! We are beyond happy to play such a small part in helping them make a difference in the lives of veterans!
Tuesday, July 23rd - The Columbus Dream Center
We had 20 BTTS staff members who served approximately 100 guests from the community. Gourmet Fresh provided a hot breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, fresh fruit, and a muffin.
Our team served guests while chatting and listening to their stories. Additionally, we helped fulfill any requests or needs from the fulfillment store.
Wednesday, July 24th – Center of Hope
A group of 20 volunteers from BTTS assisted in various service opportunities as the Center of Hope was open to the community. Volunteers performed multiple tasks, from assisting neighbors as they shopped to sorting and organizing the back stock of pantry items, cleaning, and trash pick up.
Thursday, July 25th – The Columbus Dream Center
Around 110 community members were served by 25 BTTS staff, who provided Gourmet Fresh with a delicious hot meal: meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and brownies.
Once again, our team served the guests, chatted, and listened to their stories. We also assisted them by offering resources like clothing, sleeping bags, and toiletries to meet their immediate needs.
Friday, July 26th – Flying Horse Farms Children's Camp
A group of 50 BTTS employees gathered at Flying Horse Farms to assist in getting the cabins and ground ready for all the kids that were going to be attending the next camp! We also had a large team focused on clearing the trails to make them more accessible for those campers to get out in nature!
That is a wrap! We are very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to our community. Cheers to the next year and to what our next Gives Back Week will become!
