What philanthropies does your work place participate in?

I work in an office of about 50 people. It’s a re;etively new company. We just started an event committee and are looking philanthropy/social event ideas. What have you done at your work place?
I work for a multi-national, multi-billion dollar company. Obviously, projects & events vary from location to location. Here are a few things that we do/have done in my local area:
Bring lunch to the school for homeless children once a month.
Take the kids from the homeless school Christmas shopping (the company donates $100 for each child to buy gifts for their families).
Send groups of employees to repair & ensure safety at the homes of elderly & disabled citizens.
Sponsor art programs through local schools. We have a gallery of the kids’ art here at the office, and throw a party for the artists and their families once a quarter.
Participate in science fairs. We’re a tech company, so we have lots of “brainacs” who can mentor students, and/or judge the competition.
Sponsoring youth programs at professional conferences for women. Again, we’re a tech company, and we need to encourage the expansion of women in math & science related fields.
There’s a ton more that we do, but not enough room to list it all. I hope that gives you some good ideas.
