Employees also received the Honeywell Volunteer Digital Guide in case they were traveling or had to miss the volunteer fair.
The event exceeded expectations, with attendance tripling the initial projections. Employees enthusiastically explored meaningful volunteer opportunities to help achieve their goals.
Adding to the excitement, participants spun the “Do Good” wheel, gaining insights into key community challenges in Charlotte.
At the Honeywell Foundation table, employees discovered more about the foundation’s mission—and as a bonus, walked away with the highly coveted Futureshaper t-shirt!
“We have so many Futureshapers at Honeywell who want to get involved in our community and many are new to Charlotte because we bring in talent from all over the world. SHARE Charlotte did an amazing job bringing 18 nonprofit organizations into our headquarters for our Volunteer Fair. I’m so excited that our employees are getting to know the organizations that make Charlotte wonderful and vibrant and do such incredible things to support our community.” - Marcey Stone, Global Corporate Responsibility Leader at Honeywell.
