Delta Dental of Massachusetts Gives Back to its Home State
Over 300 employees donated 900 hours of volunteer service during fifth annual Mission Month
BOSTON, Oct. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Dental of Massachusetts, the largest provider of dental benefits in the state, held its fifth annual Mission Month, a period of service for employees to give back to the company's home state of Massachusetts. Throughout the month, volunteers engaged with seven organizations that are spearheading change through education efforts, community support, nature preservation and more.
"We are honored to join such impactful organizations within our very own state of Massachusetts," said Dennis Leonard, president of Delta Dental of Massachusetts. "This year's Mission Month theme of 'Beautifying the Community' came to life as we volunteered in the neighborhoods that we not only work in, but reside in as well. We take immense pride in assisting these programs that in turn support our friends, families, neighbors and co-workers."
Throughout Mission Month, 315 employees volunteered 910 hours in Massachusetts. Activities included beautifying the Mystic River, its tributaries and the watershed lands; rejuvenating community gardens at local elementary schools; and writing letters and cards to U.S. troops stationed around the world, among other projects.
The fifth annual Mission Month adds to the thousands of employee volunteer hours provided since the initiative began in 2012 as a day of service.
