Q3 Donation Drive
Our Corporate Citizenship Committee is responsible for selecting charities and events in the community for OC to partner with. They budget donation spending, organize volunteer groups, and so much more.
In 2018, they decided to select a cause each quarter and collection donations. For Q3, they chose the Sunshine School and Development Center, and Sheep Dog’s Christmas Outreach Program. OC employees collected school supplies and other miscellaneous items that were donated to the Sunshine School and toys for the children of military, police, fire, and EMS families who need assistance this holiday season.
Michael Nimmo, a representative from Sheep Dog Impact Assistance visited the Bentonville OC campus to present us with a Certificate of Appreciation for our donations and longstanding support.
Additionally, the Corporate Citizenship Committee is now selling popcorn every payday to raise money for our quarterly donation drives.
Savor the Flavor
Savor the Flavor is a walking, tasting tour around the Bentonville Square held on Thursday, September 20th. Everyone who brought a toy to donate to Sheep Dog’s Christmas Outreach Program was entered into a drawing for two tickets to the event. Mustin was our winner!
Q3 Design Award
Each quarter, OC employees vote on top cap designs. The Q3 winner is Matt Whitley! Help us congratulate him.
Bring a Can to Work Day
On Tuesday, September 25th, OC participated in the Samaritan Community Center’s Bring a Can to Work Day. Everyone who brought a canned good was entered into a raffle to win a free Banner & Oak hat. We drew five winners.
