GPI Gives Back
Ground Pros Inc. is committed to giving back to the community. From the very beginning, we wanted to create an organization that through hard work and philanthropy would leave the world better than we found it. That dream has come to fruition through the GPI Gives Back program.
As a result, each year Ground Pros Inc. selects a new charity to help support the less fortunate in the Chicagoland area. Our goal is to reach out to smaller local organizations and support them in making a bigger impact within their communities. Throughout the year, we raise donations through company sponsored raffles, food drives and volunteer hours working at the charity of choice.
2017 Charity of Choice
Loaves and Fishes, Naperville IL
Loaves & Fishes Community Services is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that has served the community since 1984. Their vision is to end hunger in local communities. Their mission is to provide food and leadership in the community by uniting and mobilizing resources to empower people to be self-sufficient.
We chose Loaves & Fishes for our 2017 Charity of choice because we believe in the effort of helping those in need especially in our local communities.
At a volunteer event in March, our team members helped pack a total of 690 Nutrition Bags, for families in the surrounding communities. We are continuing to raise money for this organization throughout the 2017 season.
