Employees transform communities during Earth Month
Boeing teammates joined nonprofit partners around the world to make a difference for the planet.
In El Segundo, California, Boeing employees volunteered at the West Athens Victory Garden in South Los Angeles to prepare community garden beds for growing fruits and vegetables for local senior citizens and families.
The Boeing Cares Volunteer Corps was out in force during Earth Month, volunteering in communities around the world. Employees cleaned up trash, removed invasive plants, refreshed gardens and much more.
Boeing employees have participated in more than 1,500 in-person and virtual events since April 1, volunteering a total of more than 34,000 hours in communities. Volunteer events took place in nine countries and supported nearly 1,000 community partners.
In Washington, D.C., Boeing employees joined The Mission Continues at Dix Street Garden to build a new fence, clean up the park area and build new park benches.
In Seattle, volunteers went to work planting and refreshing a community garden with the Tilth Alliance. Produce from the garden is donated to local food banks.
Boeing employees in South Carolina, in partnership with Coastal Expeditions Foundation, helped plant sprigs of the indigenous Smooth Cordgrass, which will create a more resilient shoreline in the face of rising water levels.
