KPMG Partners With Stamford Boys & Girls Club For Community Impact Day

KPMG recently celebrated its nationwide Community Impact Day at the Boys & Girls Club of Stamford.

STAMFORD, CT —KPMG, the major audit, tax and advisory firm, recently held its third Community Impact Day in which employees from 79 offices nationwide came together to volunteer their time and skills to support more than 400 local nonprofit organizations, programs, and initiatives that advance equity across education, mental health, and community vitality.

One of the organizations that participated was the Stamford Boys & Girls Club, where KPMG audit partner, Joe Zeni, and other KPMGvolunteers, hosted a book explore event through KPMG Family for Literacy (KFFL).

KPMG employees guided elementary-aged students through an interactive book reading with printed boards of book pages and fun activities to bring book themes to life. Volunteers also helped read the story with the students and handed out donated new books.
