Workplace Giving

Have you ever wondered if your workplace matches the donations you make? Many companies have programs that match their employees’ charitable contributions, and yours may be one of them. To find out, you can check with your HR department. If your employer does offer this program, you can double or even triple your donation to OARS by taking advantage of this opportunity.
