Comcast invites Michiganders to join several thousand local employees, family members, friends, and community partners in volunteering for one of 28 service opportunities during the 18th Comcast Cares Day. Projects begin Thursday, April 18 and culminate on Saturday, May 11.
Comcast Cares Day is more than just a day – it is an illustration of the spirit of volunteerism that our employees bring to life each and every day.
“Supporting employee volunteerism is a core value at Comcast,” said Tim Collins, regional senior vice president for Comcast’s Heartland Region, which includes Michigan. “It is incredible to see how we can drive meaningful change by bringing together our employees, their friends and families, and our local community partners, both on this day and throughout the year.”
