EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT/Rebuilding Together/Montvale, NJ

Western Union employees care about the communities where they live and work by partnering with non-profit organizations that help their neighbors who need a hand.   Last April, known as Rebuilding Month in Bergen County, New Jersey, Western Union employees in the Montvale office joined forces with the local chapter of Rebuilding Together.  The organization works in collaboration with local businesses and communities to rehabilitate owner-occupied, low-income homes for the elderly, disabled and families with children. 

Western Union employees made a recommendation to the Foundation to support Rebuilding Together. The Foundation grant of $5,000 helped a family in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, install new windows, kitchen cabinets and sink, a new kitchen floor, paint the interior, and make plumbing and electrical repairs.
