Downtown Volunteer Coalition holds cross-company volunteer days of action with new corporate members cleaning and beautifying San Francisco public spaces

The Downtown Volunteer Coalition (DVC) is pleased to announce that Crusoe, FleishmanHillard, the Golden State Warriors, Google, and the San Francisco Giants have joined the initiative.

Yesterday, DVC members came together for street cleanup and beautification projects in neighborhoods around downtown San Francisco in partnership with HandsOn Bay Area, Refuse Refuse, San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, Swords to Plowshares and Glide.

Originally founded by Gap Inc., JPMorganChase, Levi Strauss & Co., Visa Inc. and Wells Fargo and Co., the coalition is composed of companies with a mission to support San Francisco and its revitalization.

The DVC collaborates on cross-company volunteer events across downtown San Francisco to support cleaner and more vibrant streets. Since launching the coalition last May, the participating companies have engaged 458 employees, spent 1,037 hours completing 16 service projects including refreshing and restoring community spaces, revitalizing parks and playgrounds, and street clean-up pick-up activities.

With the support from HandsOn Bay Area, the DVC develops multiple cross-company volunteer events centered around downtown and surrounding neighborhoods to meet the needs of local nonprofit partners and local businesses. In partnership with various nonprofit organizations across San Francisco, volunteers participate in activities like facility improvements, trash collection, weeding, playground cleanup, pathway clearing, planter bed improvement, and more.

Other companies in San Francisco are encouraged to join the effort by visiting www.handsonbayarea.org/downtown-volunteer-coalition.
