The following information was provided in a press release.
More than 100 Chrysler Group employees partnered with the Belle Isle Conservancy, July 25, to help preserve Belle Isle Park in Detroit. Employees, most of whom were from the Company’s Powertrain Manufacturing Group, devoted six hours to helping preserve one of the City’s jewels by potting native plants in the greenhouse, removing invasive plant species, such as honeysuckle, and by clearing dead wood and brush from along the canals and forest.
Chrysler Group recognizes that volunteerism is an essential aspect of making a positive, lasting impact in the communities where its employees live and work. In response, employees have answered the call to support the community in many ways, including: collecting and delivering food to community food banks; beautifying playgrounds, community centers and neighborhoods; donating generously at company-organized blood drives, participating in charity walks and runs, supporting Habitat for Humanity, United Way and many other organizations and programs. Also, Chrysler Group executives lend their time and talents by serving on boards of various community institutions and organizations.
Since Chrysler Group LLC was formed in 2009, the Company’s community service projects have touched the lives of more than 134,000 Detroit residents. Additionally, The Chrysler Foundation and the Company have provided more than $6.7 million in charitable donations and multi-year commitments to organizations / programs located in the City of Detroit.
