LIXIL Volunteers Drive Change on Third Annual LIXIL Community Day
LIXIL Volunteers Drive Change on Third Annual Community Day
Community outreach took center stage this October, with LIXIL employees nationwide going out into the communities in which we work and live to give back through local park cleanups to fighting hunger and beyond. LIXIL Community Day, which began in 2017, sees executives and employees from all workplaces and regions around the world take part in social contribution activities during working hours.
Piscataway, NJ
Approximately 150 employees in our Piscataway, NJ headquarters spent the day at Buccleuch Park, New Brunswick, NJ painting benches, landscaping, creating gardening kits, raking leaves and putting down mulch - beautifying our local park for the benefit of our community.
Over 30 employees from the office also participated in an internal Community Day Event creating "First Night" kits for homeless shelters. These kits included warm blankets, toiletries, snacks and other items that will make their first night in a shelter a better one.
Seattle, WA
As part of Community Day Erin McCusker, who lives in the Seattle area, connected with one of our CSR partners, the Seattle BLOCK Project. The BLOCK Project invites community into the task of ending homelessness by placing a BLOCK Home in the backyard of one single-family lot on every residentially zoned block within the City of Seattle.

Team members worked with the Mid Ohio Food Bank to sort food donations which will then be distributed to food pantries across central and eastern Ohio.
