Since 1894, Gleaner has helped communities thrive through its mission to provide financial protection, fraternal benefits and volunteer opportunities for its members.
In September, Gleaner partnered with Lenawee Cares, a program of the Lenawee Community Foundation, for the second annual Gleaner Life Gives campaign. Home Office employees were invited to donate to help their favorite charities.
“Employees can choose from a comprehensive list of local not-for-profit entities doing good works for the less fortunate among us. The Society provides a dollar-for-dollar match on employee gifts, up to the first $1,000 contributed, and absorbs the campaign’s administrative fees, so employees know going in they are multiplying the impact of their generous gifts to their favorite charities,” said Kevin Marti, president and CEO of Gleaner Life Insurance Society.
Representatives from several local organizations recently gathered to collect the donations.
For the 2017 Gleaner Life Gives campaign, Home Office employees pledged $67,489 to support the community, an increase from the previous year’s total.
“We are thankful for the generosity of our Gleaner Life employees to our annual campaign to assist those in need in our local community,” said Marti. “Gleaner is proud to be a leader in charitable giving in Lenawee County.”
