What If Your Volunteer Day Became the Best Team Event of the Year?

Hello friends,

What if the thing your organization has to do became the thing your team actually wants to do?

A lot of companies treat volunteer days like taking out the trash — necessary, but nobody gets excited about it. Often it’s mandatory… The emails go out, people dutifully sign up, and it’s… fine.

But here’s what we’ve noticed: when teams build something together — not just show up and sort donations — something shifts. People soften. Walls come down. Conversations deepen. And the group feels more human.

A small group leans in, painting side by side — and the conversations start.

Purpose becomes personal.

That’s what happened when ESSA Technologies built MudPie Kitchens for kids at the YMCA:

“Our team at ESSA Technologies had an incredible experience building MudPie Kitchens. The event was exceptionally well-organized & the facilitators brought a contagious energy that made the entire process engaging & fun. It was the best team-building activity we’ve ever done.“
— Alex Crew, ESSA Technologies

Then, many. The whole team — hands up, kitchens done, pride earned.

Meme-break…

When you ALMOST hit your target… literally.
Hope your week is off to a better start than this driver’s :flushed:

Google built Buddy Benches. Microsoft built MudPie Kitchens. Encore assembled Birthday Boxes. CPABC put together Birthday Boxes & Kindness Kits… and it turned mandatory into memorable.

And this is where it all ends up. A child looking for a buddy on a buddy bench that your team built together…
