COMPANY COMMUNITY MISSION

 

Believing that Woodward does more than provide jobs in the communities in which we operate, the Colorado Community Outreach committee seeks to cultivate a spirit of volunteerism by encouraging members to be involved in their communities. Besides donating time and manpower, the Community Outreach Committee, through Woodward’s Charitable Trust allocations, is committed to making impactful monetary contributions to serve the needs of the Northern Colorado community.

 

 

OVERVIEW OF EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM 

 

We foster an environment within Woodward that encourages all members to support their community by volunteering their individual time and talents and allows them to offer or choose the opportunities they wish to participate in. We build on Woodward’s charitable presence in the community by sponsoring and organizing team events for our membership to act on their passion for volunteerism.

A STORY WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE 

 

On October 25, 2014, 35 Woodward volunteers helped winterize Boyd Lake State Park. A park favorite for Northern Colorado, Boyd Lake is a water sports haven that attracts numerous visitors for its scenic views of Long’s Peak and expansive acreage. With unseasonably warm weather, Woodward members and family cleaned up the shoreline for the winter. After working beside their parents, the children took a break to learn about the surrounding wildlife from a Colorado Parks and Wildlife Naturalist. Collecting bags of trash, Woodward members not only enjoyed a morning out in the sun, but ensured that Boyd Lake would remain in pristine condition for visitors throughout the winter season.

 

 

WHERE WE HELPED IN 2014

 

Not only does Woodward host a successful United Way campaign, but we are also hard at work as volunteers in the community. As a United Way of Larimer County Business Cares Member, Woodward employees in 2014 contributed a total of 755 volunteer hours. Service projects included STEM programming in local schools, donating 245 hygiene kits for the Salvation Army, and working in community gardens. Woodward also provided grants, through the Woodward Charitable Trust, to 17 deserving nonprofits in Larimer County.
