It’s that time of year again when we collect items for our local food shelves. Look for a box in your department very soon with a specific item to donate. We will be collecting items through the end of March.
Let’s get a SLAM DUNK and beat our 550 pounds collected last year!

Volunteering is a great way to get involved in your community and to connect with your co-workers.
Thank you to this group of FirstLight employees for ringing bells to support local Salvation Army efforts:
Check out the link below to see how the Salvation Army helps those in need.
By now you have probably seen the tree by the dining room or the clotheslines hanging in your break room with paper mittens, coats, snow pants, and socks, along with other tags on them. These items are needed for families or students in our area and are part of our annual Giving Tree and Winter Gear Drive service events.
Please bring your donated items to Materials Management by December 16th.
Thank you!
The winter gear drive is in full swing even though there is no snow…yet.
Donations of NEW kids winter gear will be accepted now through December 16th. FirstLight will donate these items to area elementary schools just before holiday break. The schools really appreciate help in keeping students warm.
Highest need items:
Drop sites: look for boxes in your area, bring items to your department manager, or bring items to the wellness office at the end of HR hallway.
Thank you!
