Thousands Join Forces for Lippert’s 5th Annual Volunteer Week – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News

ELKHART, Ind. ─ For the fifth year in a row, Lippert Components, Inc. (Lippert), a supplier of a broad array of highly engineered components for the leading OEMs in the recreation and transportation product markets and the related aftermarkets of those industries, participated in National Volunteer Week, April 21–27, reaffirming its commitment to using “Business as a Force for Good in the World,” according to a release.

As Volunteer Week unfolded across the nation and around the globe, thousands of Lippert team members enthusiastically joined in, spearheading impactful initiatives at both local and international levels, the release continued. From holding a “Rail Trail” clean-up in Gloversville, NY, to park clean-up projects in Twin Falls, ID, and Eau Claire, WI, and volunteering for Rowans Hospice in Havant (United Kingdom), team members showed up for the causes they care about the most.

The focus of local efforts was the three-day Volunteer Week Pack-Out event organized at the Elkhart County Fairgrounds, where more than 1,200 team members boxed 144,000 essential food items and school supplies, which were then distributed locally. This year’s beneficiaries included the Food Bank of Northern Indiana and 10 schools within Elkhart, St. Joseph and Allen Counties.

“As we celebrate the fifth consecutive year of Lippert’s company-wide participation in Volunteer Week, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the unwavering dedication and boundless generosity of Lippert team members,” said Michilah Grimes, Director of Corporate & Community Impact at Lippert. “Our team members have saved nonprofits over 27 million dollars since 2017 by donating their time to the causes they love most.
