Michelman volunteers participate in latest Global Day of Service

Michelman employees across the world left their offices and laboratories to volunteer their time at a wide variety of locations. Michelman associates in bright orange t-shirts were seen in the US, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, China, Singapore and India. In the US, volunteer associates spent the day at a number of United Way affiliated organizations, including the Free Store Food Bank, Easter Seals and The Bethany House. In Europe, Michelman volunteers were spotted at: Le petite Plante, a residential service for adults with multiple disabilities; Ecole fondamentale libra “La Petit Cigale”, a local school; Tierheim Recklinghausen, a pet shelter; Deutsches Rotes Kreuz Kreisverband, a German red cross; and many other locations. Across Asia, volunteers spent their days helping out at the Kangqiao Gongyou School, at a public welfare cultural development center, at old age homes, and at orphanages.

‘One of our core values here at Michelman is giving, and it was with great satisfaction, that I saw hundreds of co-workers voluntarily go into local communities and give their time, muscle and sweat to many worthy organizations who could use their helping hands,’ said Steve Shifman, Michelman president and CEO.

‘I’m incredibly proud of all our volunteers, not just because of what I see happen on this single day, but because of the volunteer spirit I see from Michelman associates each and every day of the year. I believe it is that spirit of giving that helps set us apart in the many global markets in which we compete.’
