FEATURED CORPORATION: Harley-Davidson Motor Company

Harley-Davidson believes it is important to give back to the community. Through charitable contributions and employee involvement in community volunteerism, Harley-Davidson supports initiatives in different areas. These include education, community revitalization, health, arts, veterans, and the environment. Each area helps improve the quality of life in the communities in which we live and work.
Hundreds of committed, passionate employees give thousands of hours each year to local organizations that represent a variety of community issues they feel strongly about. Some issues include supporting local food banks, delivering meals to the elderly, mentoring children and raising funds to fight life-threatening diseases. These are just some of the ways employees help fulfill the dreams of those in need.
Volunteers help community prepare for winter
On November 7th over 1,100 students, companies, congregations and families helped 350 older adult homeowners get their yards ready for winter by raking leaves and washing windows. The volunteers were part of MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY organized by the Volunteer Center of Greater Milwaukee and Interfaith Older Adult Program.
