On the final day of CADD Care, the CADD team gave to me... ten wonderful ways to give back this holiday season!
The Twelve Days of CADD Care blog series is not over yet! We have one more special post to share.
As you all know, the CADD Foundation has been in full swing this year working hard to help those in need. And we've been busy. A couple of our big projects include a Summer Food Drive in which we donated $5,286.45 in food donations to Blessings in a Backpack. We also teamed up with The Underground Kitchen (UGK) in Richmond, Va last month for a 2-hour virtual cooking class. CADD employees, family and friends spent an evening cooking along (via Zoom) with one of UGK’s renowned chefs, and donated $2000 in ticket sales from this event to Community First, UGK’s official 501c3 foundation.
But we are always looking for additional ways to help those in need. As a bonus to the Twelve Days of CADD Care, we are providing our friends and customers with ten ways they can volunteer and give back this season. Below are volunteer opportunities personally selected by our CADD Foundation team:
