Community Service

Community involvement is an important part of the culture at InCharge. Employees volunteer their time and money in order to help support other Central Florida nonprofits.

Below is a partial listing of community service events InCharge is actively involved in.

A Gift For Teaching

A Gift For Teaching is a Central Florida nonprofit organization whose mission “is to ensure underprivileged students in the Central Florida community have the basic tools necessary to succeed in school and life by collecting and distributing the community's surplus supplies and merchandise and distributing it to students in need through the Free Store for teachers.” InCharge employees have supported this mission through various efforts such as the Pencil Case Drive and Pennies for Pencils resulting in more than $10,000 in donations since 2002.

Junior Achievement of Central Florida

InCharge employees volunteer at Orlando’s Orlo Vista Elementary as part of the annual JA-In-A-Day program. Employees spend a full day with children in kindergarten through fifth grades, discussing the basic concepts of business, economics and how education is relevant in their future working lives. InCharge employees have donated hundreds of hours of service to date.

In addition, InCharge employees participate in Junior Achievement’s annual Bowl-A-Thon. Since 2000, we have raised more than $30,000 for Junior Achievement and have been awarded with the “highest amount raised by a nonprofit” in Central Florida.

Second Food Harvest

Employees collect canned food items to stock the shelves of Second Harvest Food Bank and also conduct Cook-A-Thons to help raise money for the food bank. InCharge employees have raised more than $18,000 for Second Harvest Food Bank.

Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida

In 2007, employees created a “Holiday Star Tree” in order to fulfill the wishes of over thirty children and their parents throughout Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties. Gifts ranged from new bicycles for kids to basic household necessities for parents.

American Red Cross

In 2005, InCharge employees raised $25,200 for Katrina victims through Cook-A-Thons and personal donations.
