Dominion employees have long been active in their communities
and have received formal company support for more than two decades.
Each year, employees donate thousands of hours of time
and their skills to support a variety of programs. Concern for children
and families is a priority of our volunteers.
Employees also organize and lead community projects
to meet specific local needs. For the past seven years, employees have
identified local parks and educational facilities in 14 states that are
in need of repairs and refurbishing.
With materials purchased by the company, volunteers
have built outdoor classrooms and nature trails, created outdoor learning
gardens and urban tree gardens, and completed other projects that enhance
environmental educational opportunities.
Employees also have adopted local schools, where activities
include mentoring and tutoring, painting classrooms and building playgrounds.
Local Projects
Each year, employees support an array of local projects,
such as home repairs for the elderly through Rebuilding Together through Christmas
in April, Habitat for Humanity, mentoring programs through Big Brothers and
Big Sisters, and Walks to raise awareness and funds for many health research
organizations. Employee teams at virtually every company location evaluate requests
from community organizations and determine which projects to support.
Companywide Projects
A series of focused volunteer projects takes place each
year. The emphasis of recent projects has been on environmental clean-up and
education. Dozens of communities
have benefited through outdoor classrooms, nature trails and waterway clean-ups.
