Each year, we partner with organizations that make a difference in the communities we serve. This year, PGE volunteers supported 130 organizations, including Meals on Wheels People, Schoolhouse Supplies, Legal Aid Services Of Oregon, and many more. We also joined SOLVE's Oregon Spring Clean-up, where over 4,000 volunteers collectively picked up an impressive 21,981 pounds of litter and debris. A special thank you to our dedicated PGE team members who hosted events in Gresham, Oregon City, Estacada, and Portland. We also supported Friends of Trees – a partner since its first planting in 1989 – by volunteering at events in Beaverton, Portland, and Tualatin, planting over 600 trees. THANK YOU to everyone who invested time and effort during National Volunteer Month! #PGEvolunteers #SpringIntoAction #CommunitySupport #NationalVolunteerMonth #SOLVEOregon #FriendsOfTrees #GivingBack #CommunityService

Here are some tips to get involved and make a difference: 1. **Find a Cause:** Choose a project that resonates with your team and addresses a local need. - **Example:** If you love animals, consider volunteering at the humane society to help care for pets in need. 2. **Get Involved:** Volunteer your time, skills, or resources. Every little bit helps! 3. **Collaborate:** Partner with local organizations to maximize your impact. 4. **Share Your Story:** Inspire others by sharing your experiences on social media.

SATURDAY MORNING (FEBRUARY 3RD) at 9:00 AM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Phoenix will be cleaning up the community once again! LOCATION IS STILL TO BE DETERMINED for this Community Clean-Up (PHX) NO OPEN-TOED SHOES Cleaning up loose trash is one of the best ways to pitch in for your community and the environment. Volunteering as a means to help conserve and protect the environment has a lot of upsides. Of course, the first is that you’ll be taking care of our planet, and it badly needs a little love given the myriad ways in which we’ve become adept at destroying it. But beyond that, volunteering for a cause you care about is a great way to meet like-minded people, make friends, and pull yourself out of the blues that sometimes accompany caring a lot about something important – especially if you feel alone in your endeavors. None of us like the sight of litter. Litter spoils the look of where we live but that’s not the only reason for picking up litter. There are a number of benefits from picking up litter that you may not have considered before. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city. Some research even shows that a nice-looking neighborhood promotes good behavior. Join us in keeping your community clean!
