Community Service is an integral part of Homestead’s culture, and something that the company holds near and dear to its heart. In fact, it is our third responsibility in the Homestead Creed-a responsibility to our community. It is our responsibility to better the community in which we work. At the end of 2007, Homestead employees partnered up with Family Giving Tree, a non profit organization in the San Francisco Bay Area that is dedicated to providing children with gifts that they may go without during the holiday season. Homestead filled children’s wish cards, and also volunteered at the donated warehouse, sorting thousands and thousands of gifts! It truly was a miraculous experience.

This upcoming month we look to continue our community service program by working with Hidden Villa, a nonprofit, 1600 acre organic farm and wilderness preserve that has multicultural and environmental education programs for children, youth and the community. As volunteers we will help maintain their farm during the month of March by making compost, planting and doing irrigation work. We have worked with Hidden Villa in the past, and it has always been an exciting and fun event!

Employees at Homestead truly care about giving back to the community, and we look to bring in candidates that hold that same value in their hearts.
