If you choose to volunteer at one of our events, please verify if your company offers a Volunteer Hour Match or Volunteer Grant Program. If so, you can supplement your time spent volunteering with an additional corporate gift to the PTSA! Many companies will match an employee’s time volunteering with a financial donation, which benefits our students even more.
We've summarized volunteer hour-matching details of some common local employers below. Please note that company policies are subject to change, so please check with your HR department for the most up-to-date information. If your employer provides volunteer hour matching but is not listed, please email us at somersetptsa@gmail.com so they can be added. With your help, we hope to grow this list to include more generous companies that are actively involved in supporting their community.
