HCI Giving Week: Feeding the Community

HCI Giving Week brought employees across Halff together to serve, give and make a difference in the communities we call home. This year’s theme, Feed the Community, united offices around a shared effort to address food insecurity and support local organizations already doing this work every day.

Teams brought that mission to life in their own ways, from packing meals and stocking food pantries to preparing lunches, collecting food and raising funds. Together, employees volunteered 673 hours across more than 45 events, raising more than $10,500 in employee donations.

While Giving Week may be over, the impact of that generosity continues through HCI and the community partners Halff supports throughout the year.

Halff Makes Its Mark at the Richardson Corporate Challenge

So far, Halff has collected two gold, three silver and two bronze medals, climbing to second place overall in Division D of the competition. More events are still to come!
