New Employee Volunteer Program at Dot Foods

As reported in the Journal Courier, Dot Foods, one of the largest food redistributors in the United States, has inaugurated a new employee volunteer program at their Illinois branch. Employees can participate in the "Teaming with Local Charities" (TLC) program by volunteering at one of three local organizations: Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, or Brown County Schools. Employees then log their volunteer hours, and after a certain threshold, they receive paid time off or money that can be donated to charity. If things go well with the Illinois program, Dot expects to roll-out TLC to its other U.S. locations.
