Thanks To Vestmark, Back To School With New Backpacks

A release from Vestmark's Heart of Giving Committee:

August is traditionally “Back to School” time for students across the country. For the second consecutive year, team members at Wakefield-based Vestmark Inc. have given less fortunate children in their local community new backpacks stuffed with school supplies.

Vestmark employees purchased the backpacks, and the company provided notebooks, binders, calculators, and other supplies. This year, after the Vestmark team members stuffed the 80 backpacks with supplies — exceeding their original goal of 75 — they gave them to REACH Beyond Domestic Violence, which provides safety and support to domestic abuse survivors, to distribute to local students in need.

This effort was organized by Vestmark’s Heart of Giving Committee, an internal body which sets out the company’s charitable initiatives for the year ahead. Philanthropic volunteerism and support is a core element of the Vestmark culture. The firm supports REACH Beyond Domestic Violence and Rosie’s Place, a Boston-based shelter offering wide-ranging services for homeless and impoverished women, with annual gifts. Vestmark also maintains a matching gift program for employees, matching philanthropic donations by team members to the American Red Cross, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and a variety of other organizations.
