We recently celebrated Volunteer Week at Booking Holdings - a special time for our colleagues to come together and give back to the diverse communities in which we work. Employees are encouraged to volunteer their time and skills to a 501(c)(3) organization either individually, as a team, or even across departments depending on the size of the project. Spotlighted 💡 : Colleagues took some furry friends out for a walk in the sunshine for Lucky Dog Refuge in Stamford, helped organize clothing for Open Doors in Norwalk, a nonprofit committed to providing resources for homeless individuals and families on the path to housing stability, and volunteered at Filling in the Blanks, a non-profit dedicated to fighting childhood hunger by providing children in need with meals on the weekends. We're thankful to have had the opportunity to support these incredible organizations and help them further their important missions!
