Burns & Wilcox Harvesting Hope Against Hunger
Donating to more than 50 charities throughout September to help fight hunger.
H.W. Kaufman Group and Burns & Wilcox are proud to announce this year’s charity initiative: Harvesting Hope Against Hunger, benefiting local community food banks, food distribution centers and hunger relief charities across North America.
As part of our Champions and Charities initiative, for every policy bound with Burns & Wilcox in the United States and Canada in September, a donation of up to $6 will be made to a local food bank (see full list below) designated by each local Burns & Wilcox office.
In addition, all Kaufman associates are encouraged to utilize their paid volunteer time and participate in philanthropic activities with food banks in the areas in which they conduct business.
Associates may also personally donate to one of the local charities below, and throughout September, Kaufman will match donations dollar for dollar.
