Spectrum Investment Advisors' Inspiring Second Annual Volunteer Day at Kinship Urban Farm
Spectrum Investment Advisors' Volunteer Day at Kinship Urban Farm
On September 12, Spectrum Investment Advisors made a remarkable return to Kinship Urban Farm for their second annual Volunteer Day. This event embodies one of their core principles: "We Give Back." The day was filled with hands-on activities aimed at enhancing the farm's productivity and supporting the community.
The primary focus of this year's efforts was preparing the soil for the upcoming growing cycle. Spectrum team members engaged in various tasks, from tilling the earth to planting over 300 seeds in the hoop house. This initiative not only sets the stage for fresh produce but also aims to provide essential food resources directly to the community. Before the event, the team had organized a successful food drive, collecting pantry staples specifically requested by Kinship's food distribution center.
Located in Milwaukee, the Kinship Community Food Center is a nonprofit organization devoted to ensuring food accessibility while fostering community connections through urban gardening. Through the farm and pantry, Kinship diligently works to provide neighbors in need with fresh and nutritious food while promoting dignity and a sense of purpose.
Volunteers have multiple ways to contribute, whether it be working on the farm, assisting with food distribution, or helping prepare meals. The day was enriched as some Spectrum volunteers remained to assist customers and aid in preparing a community meal with freshly harvested produce, embodying the true essence of "farm-to-table."
The immediacy of serving freshly gathered food served as a poignant reminder of how even small acts of kindness can catalyze significant change within the community. This year's event was so successful that Kinship has chosen Spectrum Investment Advisors as a model for future corporate volunteer days, aiming to inspire other businesses to engage in community service.
"We believe in the power of teamwork—not just in the office but within the community," emphasized Angelica Niemann, Marketing Manager at Spectrum Investment Advisors. This teamwork fostered a vibrant atmosphere where volunteers not only worked hard but also connected on a personal level.
The event concluded with a reflection circle, where team members shared personal insights and memorable stories from their experience, enhancing the collective sense of purpose.
