Joining other firms across the Midlands for the United Way of the Midlands Volunteer Week, the Abacus team spent an afternoon volunteering at our local Harvest Hope Food Bank.
We spent our time packing summer feeding kits for students who rely on free school lunches during the school year, so they do not have to worry about food during their summer vacation

Not only did our team enjoy helping the children of our community, we noticed that volunteering was refreshing and stress-free.
"Naturally, the dialogue surrounding activism and volunteerism centers on how others will benefit from volunteer work that you do. But years of research demonstrate that there are benefits for volunteers themselves."
