As part of their IMPACT Day, Deloitte &Touche recently sent more than 300 volunteers to The Salvation Army’sCamp Wonderland to paint,rake and plant flowers, amongother duties.

“The Salvation Army ishonored that Deloitte & Touchechose The Salvation Army as one of the many worthwhile recipientsof their volunteer time forIMPACT Day,” says Rachel Kushner,

  Volunteer Coordinator for TheSalvation Army. “Having 300 people volunteer in one location helped usaccomplishan enormous amount of work that we would otherwisehave to pay to have completed.”

  Across the country, nearly 30,000 Deloitte & Touche employees  volunteered at more than 100  various nonprofit locationsnationwidefor their IMPACT Day.

“We believe a national day of service has a long-lasting effect on our culture of community involvement,” states Deloitte CEO  James H. Quigley. “We place thehighest value on our people’s time,knowledge and skills, and feel  we have a duty and privilege

to contribute to nonprofit organizations working to

address social issues.”

Brought up in a traditional Jewish family, Joan says that sheshares many of the same values

as The Salvation Army, eventhough she does not share thesame beliefs. “People only growand change if you really accept   who they are when they need  your help,” states Joan.“The Salvation Army not only addresses their immediate needsbut also helps them get back ontheir feet.”
