At Wingate, it's good to share your time and talent.  

Because of this, we created Cares, our philanthropic program dedicated to providing education and basic necessities to those in need.  Through this program, Wingate Employees are able to give back to our communities and help transform the lives of others while inspiring a spirit of citizenship and social responsibility.  

Reflective of our philanthropic mission, we place our focus on the following categories.

Basic Needs

• serving meals to the homeless
• donating food and gifts during the winter holiday season
• building homes for low-income families
• citywide clean-up initiatives
• working to beautify schools

Education

Providing resources and skills that position people for success, including:

• distributing books and school supplies
• helping prepare tax returns
• assembling literacy kits
• teaching leadership skills
• reading to school children
• helping with resume writing

Wingate Employee Relief Fund - Employees Helping Employees

The Wingate Employee Relief Fund is a non-profit charitable organization primarily supported by contributions from Wingate employees and partners. Its primary mission is to provide financial assistance to eligible Wingate employees and their immediate family members during times of unforeseen emergencies and basic living expenses resulting from catastrophic events. The fund aims to offer relief by helping to alleviate some of the financial burden incurred in such challenging circumstances. The assistance is provided as soon as administratively feasible, with the intent to provide support and help defray some of the associated costs.
