Giving something back to our communities has always been an important\ncore value for Consumer Cellular. From the beginning, we\u2019ve looked for ways to\nuse our success to make a positive difference in the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we\u2019ve grown over the years, we\u2019ve made it a tradition to\nrecognize significant corporate milestones by giving to charities in the name\nof our customers and employees. In August, we donated $350,000 to the American\nRed Cross Disaster Relief Fund to commemorate earning our 3.5 millionth\ncustomer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2018, to\ncommemorate earning our three millionth customer, we donated $3 million shared\nwith our employees and 3 charities selected by them: Meals on Wheels America,\nProvidence Cancer Institute and Shriners Hospitals for Children each received\n$500,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also strive for ways to regularly give back in the communities\nwhere we\u2019re located. We fund a local community giving committee at each of our\nlocations that selects non-profit, human-focused groups nominated by our\nemployees for support each quarter. This year, we were pleased to provide more\nthan $680,000 to a wide variety of worthwhile organizations offering services\nand programs that benefit families, children, and those less fortunate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the past year, Consumer Cellular employees also volunteered\nnearly 2,500 hours to help out food pantries in our corporate locations in Portland,\nOR; Redmond, OR; and Phoenix, AZ. We\u2019ve also mobilized quarterly volunteer\nservice nights at these facilities for many years now, which draw tremendous\nparticipation from our team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we reflect on our charitable giving for the past year, we want\nto once again offer a sincere thanks to you, our loyal customers, for allowing\nus so many opportunities to make a difference. We\u2019re truly humbled by your continued\nsupport, and deeply honored to help others on your behalf. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
