SCRANTON — Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield’s Caring Corps worked to make a difference this Thanksgiving season by helping those in need. Approximately 80 employee volunteers worked at local food pantries and community kitchens during the week of Nov. 16 to help community-based agencies meet heightened holiday demand.
All year long, Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield employees are encouraged to volunteer for nonprofits in the community through a progressive Volunteer Day policy, which provides paid time off for employees to participate in community service.
Jane Yeomans, Jennifer Raub and Katie Kemmerer help prepare and serve lunch with fellow Highmark employees at the St. Francis of Assisi Soup Kitchen in Scranton.
