The Corporate Volunteering program has been implemented for fifteen years, with great success among employees. The proposal invites those collaborators who are committed to a social cause or are involved with a charitable institution, to participate for a fund of $600,000 destined to finance 5 projects with social purposes.

This year more than 17 projects were presented, involving the proposals of more than 70 volunteers.

The 5 winning projects of this edition are:

Kindergarten No. 901 "Manuel Belgrano" of Carlos Casares: volunteers, parents of children who attend the institution and members of the Cooperating Commission, propose to collaborate in repairing the damage caused by the storm that occurred on March 6 , in the outdoor recreational space.

Civil Association "The Embrace of Mother Teresa" of San Miguel del Monte: the project presented aims to build a comprehensive space that functions as a Permanent Home for people with disabilities, thus solving the existing shelter problem.

“Artists for a day” project of the Bartolomé Miter School in Villa del Totoral, Jesús María: the volunteers suggest the purchase of about 50 small, self-supporting lecterns so that the students can go on educational outings to various emblematic places in the town and feel “ Artists for a Day”.

Merendero "Los Pekes" of Chivilcoy: It is a recognized civil organization, which has been operating for more than 10 years in a neighborhood of workers and humble families. The collaborators propose that the amount be allocated to the construction of a barbecue area that provides shelter, shelter and shade on days when the weather is not good and thus does not have to suspend the activity of the picnic area.

Colectivo Censo Sur, from Lomas de Zamora: one of the initiatives that arose in the Assemblies that they carry out is to set up community showers so that people living on the streets can use them. The volunteers intend to allocate the prize to the acquisition of a washing machine; in addition to backpacks and underwear (which are not obtained in donations) for the people who attend these community showers. With the surplus, supplies will be purchased (thermos, glasses, plastic cups, etc.) to continue providing breakfast and lunch.

A special committee made up of company directors was in charge of analyzing the proposals and selecting these 5 projects, which will receive the fund destined for the realization of their proposals.

In this way, Los Grobo reinforces its commitment to the communities in which it operates, thus helping to improve people's lives.
