Employees from Mobil Oil New Zealand
Limited will spend the day volunteering at Alzheimer’s
Auckland and Ronald McDonald House in Wellington on
Wednesday 21 October, 2009, as part of the annual Mobil Day
of Caring.
The Mobil volunteers will be busy cleaning,
gardening, tidying and washing down the outside of the
community facilities.
Mobil’s Day of Caring is run
with the support of United Way New Zealand, a national
non-profit organisation which supports volunteering and
funds community groups.
Charles Ewart, Mobil Oil New
Zealand Limited Country Manager, said, “I am pleased to
offer our employees the opportunity to volunteer at
Alzheimer’s Auckland and Ronald McDonald house.” The
Mobil Day of Caring provides tangible assistance to
community groups and promotes the importance of
volunteering.
United Way New Zealand Chief Executive
Officer, Don Oliver, said “Volunteers are the backbone of
our community support services and corporate volunteering
programs like the Mobil Day of Caring provide an enormous
boost to the Not for Profit sector. “Corporate
volunteering is a good example of how United Way, business
and community organisations can work well together and make
a significant contribution to the community,” he
said.
