In anticipation of the volunteer day, we collected food, clothing, and household items for donation, and several team members contributed their time by packing grocery bags, compiling household cleaning bundles, and helping families set up their entire homes. Those who weren’t available to volunteer shopped A Wider Circle’s Amazon Wish List for donations. Each family carefully selected items for their bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, and family rooms, and crafted a home they could be proud of. There was a lot of heavy lifting involved and A Wider Circle was incredibly appreciative of our time and efforts in helping their community members.

The effort was a great success and everyone is looking forward to participating next year.

Forty Cimpress teams of volunteers are making a difference across the globe over the next several months as part of the 20th anniversary community giving campaign. Cimpress is supporting each team with a $1,000 donation to their cause.

CEO Robert Keane announced the campaign in February in honor of our 20th anniversary with a challenge to form 20 teams of global volunteers around the world. Our team members have a long and proud history of giving back, and the response has been outstanding. Within one month, more than 30 teams had signed up to participate, and the campaign has now expanded to accommodate up to 40 teams of global volunteers.

Cimpress volunteers help homeless dogs.

Whether it’s teams from Barcelona, Lexington, Sydney, Tunis, Windsor, Silver Springs, London, Tunis,  Montego Bay, Venlo, Winterthur, Tunisia or India, the goal is the same: to make a difference in the local communities where we live and work.

Teams will be setting out to raise awareness and funding for many different organizations and causes, including breast cancer research, homelessness, hunger, domestic violence prevention, education and training opportunities for economically disadvantaged community members.

Stay tuned for more volunteer stories!
