Engaging in local activities is one way GreenStone gives back to places where we work and live. Our employees carry out our passion for community engagement through a variety of activities both as GreenStone representatives and as volunteers – we are pleased to tell their stories here. Watch for upcoming stories of how our employees give back in our Open Fields blog!
An organization very dear to the hearts of GreenStone employees at the Concord Branch is Youth Haven Ranch, a camp where underprivileged children from all over the Jackson, Michigan area come to experience a fun, safe and educational environment.
Youth Haven's mission is “providing life-changing, Christ-centered experiences for underprivileged children." An important aspect of this organization is making sure the children have access to healthy meals, clothes and shoes, and personal hygiene items while surrounded by reliable positive influences. Many of the children may have never had access to these things. Children have access to these helpful services throughout the year, as Youth Haven is more than a summer camp; it also provides weekend camp opportunities, day camps, and after-school programs.
GreenStone team members at the Concord Branch chose to support the Ranch by donating gifts at Christmastime for the children. Pamela Jacobson, a customer service representative at the Concord Branch shared how the branch got involved with sharing the Christmas spirit at Youth Haven.
"We heard about the Ranch and their Christmastime events on the radio," Pamela shared. "We have been collecting and donating gifts for the children at Christmastime for about six years."
We realize the youth of today are leaders of tomorrow, and involvement in Youth Haven Ranch is one way GreenStone team members invest in the youth of our rural communities.
