Spectrum has announced a donation of $2,500 to Wellspring Community Church’s Mission of Hope through the company’s employee-driven grants program that recognizes the value of community service, Spectrum Employee Community Grants.
Wellspring Community Church hosts a Mission of Hope event in August as families prepare to go back to school. Families can receive new clothes, school supplies, eye screenings, family photos and more. Every year, more than 650 children from 400 families are assisted, with total attendance reaching over 2,000 people.
“Spectrum Employee Community Grants support local nonprofits that hold a meaningful connection to the Spectrum employees who nominate them, and to the communities they serve,” said Rahman Khan, Group Vice President of Community Impact at Charter. “Looking forward to the next few years, we’re increasing our investment in the program, in support of our employees’ dedication to volunteer work and vital community organizations that enhance the lives of local residents.”
Launched in 2019, Spectrum Employee Community Grants support nonprofits nominated by employees with a personal connection to the organization through at least one year of their own volunteer work, more than $40,000 in grants in Michigan to date. Recipients deliver a broad range of critical social services to underserved community members, including food pantries, homeless shelters, clothing distribution, job training for veterans and paying overdue rent and utility bills for those in crisis.
