Lippert Team Members Take Part in National Volunteer Week

 For the fourth consecutive year, Lippert Components Inc. (Lippert) is participating in National Volunteer Week to encourage people nationwide to give back to their communities while exploring the “why” behind their service.

From April 18-20, Lippert team members are taking part in a three-day “Pack-Out” event organized at the Elkhart County Fairgrounds, where 108,000 essential food items, school supplies and toiletry items will be boxed and distributed to local schools and nonprofits.

This year’s beneficiaries include the Boys & Girls Club of Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties, La Casa de Amistad, the Food Bank of Northern Indiana and seven schools in Elkhart and St. Joseph Counties.

Taking it a step further, Lippert’s unified global team will be participating in their own Volunteer Week activities, extending the impact of team members’ contributions far beyond Elkhart County.

“With a full year of volunteer opportunities planned that challenge team members to explore their 'why,' Lippert’s initiative to use business as a force for good continues to lay the foundation for bringing communities together to serve a greater good."

The pack-out times for local Lippert team members are Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m. and Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Contact Michilah Grimes at michilahg@lci1.com with any questions.
