Let’s put 500 hours of good into the world by Dec. 31, 2022
The world has a need for kind words and kinder actions, and through our charitable giving program Facilis Cares, we’re going to put 500 hours of good out into the world by December 31, 2022. Through a partnership with United Way, we’re identifying more opportunities to volunteer, and we’re excited about what our community can accomplish together!
We invite you to get involved in your community and help contribute to our 500-hour community service goal. Share your efforts with us for a chance to be featured!
Home Sweet Home
The Facilis Cares Committee has partnered with Home Sweet Home, a non-profit providing household goods and home furnishings to local families that are having difficulties with housing transitions. Teams of St. Louis-based Facilisgroup employees have volunteered for several Fridays to sort donations, make kits, assemble furniture, and more.

Park Cleanup!
On May 12 we had a special Facilis Cares Day that spanned multiple countries. 40 volunteers between the U.S. and Canada cleaned up local parks just in time for summer. Water Tower Park in St. Louis and Shefford Sports Park in Ottawa looked amazing afterward. It was worth the sweat we built up!

How Facilis Cares
Standing with Ukraine
Our community raised over $30,000 to help the people of Ukraine. Special thanks to alphabroder, Cap America, and Next Level for supplying the decorated t-shirts and caps we sold on a fundraising Commercio Pop-Up Store! The money went towards World Central Kitchen and the National Bank of Ukraine for hot meals, shelter, and other essentials. We proved that we’re stronger together!

Dress Down for Charity
The best excuse to wear sweatpants ever! In May (Mental Health Awareness Month), our team had the chance to donate $5 for a dress down day benefitting the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Many people chose to donate more to help a great cause and rocked their casual looks. It was a very cozy and charitable month!
