Culture Spotlight: ReachLocal’s Third Annual Day of Giving

At ReachLocal, we love local businesses and supporting our community. Lucky for us, we get to work with local businesses in our community every day. But, one special day each year, we get together with our coworkers in our respective offices to give back to our communities across North America.

This year was our third annual Day of Giving, and it was bigger and better than ever! We had nearly 20 offices participate in activities that ranged from putting together more than 300 care packages to delivering meals to almost 40 homes to donating more than 700 pounds of food.

Check out our Day of Giving pictures on our Facebook page, and see how our employees gave back this year!
