Comcast Cares Days

COMCAST VOLUNTEERS TO
BUILD SORELY NEEDED

DRESSERS FOR BRIDGING
ON APRIL 21

Comcast Cares Day is one of the largest single-day

corporate volunteer efforts in the country

ST.
PAUL, MINN. (April 2012) – Imagine living in a place with no furniture.  You sleep and eat on the floor. Your clothes
and other belongings are in piles and boxes around you.  A team of Comcast volunteers will work
Saturday, April 21, at Bridging in Roseville to improve this situation which is
daily life for thousands of people in the local community.

Team
leader and Comcast employee John Olin will lead a large group in a “dresser build.”  That’s what nonprofit  Bridging calls this extremely valuable work.

“To say
that our need for dressers is dire is an understatement,” said Bridging
Executive Director Sara Sternberger. “We serve 75 families a week between our
two locations.  Our goal is one dresser
per bedroom, and currently, we have just 25 dressers to offer our
families.  We are so grateful that Comcast
has chosen to sponsor a dresser build.”

Olin
says Comcast will purchase ten kits of five-drawer dressers.  “We will set up an assembly line and get to
work on Saturday, April 21. This is the fourth year I have led a Comcast volunteer
team here.  I know what a difference
Bridging makes in the lives of the families they serve.”

Olin and
33 other site coordinators will lead more than 1300 Comcast employees, their
families and friends for a morning of volunteering for 24 nonprofits in the
Twin Cities area.   This is the 11^th
annual event for Comcast to reach out and work for nonprofits.

National Volunteer Effort for Comcast

“Our
employees look forward to Comcast Cares Day because they are excited to
volunteer with social service nonprofits, whose missions and programs are key
to the stability and health of the communities where we live and work,” said
Mary Beth Schubert, Comcast’s vice president of corporate affairs.   “We know budgets continue to be tight for
nonprofits.  Our projects are well
planned and fully staffed with volunteers who are ready to roll up their
sleeves and get to work.”

At 34
separate project sites, Comcast employees will spring clean, power wash,
complete landscape projects, paint, sort donations, restock warehouses, restore
playgrounds, and host events.   Comcast
Cares Day is the company’s national day of service.   It has become one of the largest single-day
corporate volunteer efforts in the country with more than 62,000 Comcast
employees volunteering at 620 nonprofit sites to improve the communities they
serve throughout the nation.
