A Day of Hands-On support
Volunteers tackled a diverse range of tasks,from revitalizing learning environments with fresh paint and organized classrooms,to enhancing the schools’ physical appearance through landscaping. A notably impactful effort focused on restocking the food pantry at Hubbell Elementary, ensuring students have access to essential resources.
This wasn’t just about donating time; RSM’s dedication extended to financial support as well. Through the RSM US Foundation’s “dollars for Doers” program, the volunteer efforts translated into a generous $21,250 in grant funding, directly benefiting Roosevelt High School and Hubbell Elementary.
Collaborative Approach to Community Impact
The selection of Roosevelt and Hubbell wasn’t arbitrary. RSM works closely with the Des Moines Public Schools District Community coordinator, beginning planning in early spring. This collaborative process identifies schools that would most benefit from a full day of dedicated volunteer support, ensuring the initiative addresses genuine needs and maximizes impact.
“We beleive in the power of giving back to the communities where we live and work,” says a representative from RSM US LLP.”Our Volunteer Day is a testament to that commitment, and we’re proud to partner with Des Moines Public Schools to make a difference in the lives of students.”
Part of a Larger Nationwide Initiative
The Des Moines Volunteer Day is part of RSM’s broader nationwide “Power of Love” campaign, running from August 1st to september 30th. This campaign underscores RSM’s dedication to corporate social responsibility and its belief in the positive impact businesses can have on the communities they serve. The “Power of Love” campaign encourages employees across the country to engage in volunteer activities and contribute to causes they are passionate about.
by combining hands-on volunteerism with financial contributions, RSM US LLP is demonstrating a powerful model for corporate citizenship and investing in the future of Des Moines’ students.
