Home / About / Our Culture / Philanthropy

At ECS, philanthropy and volunteering are central to our culture. Learn more about our two philanthropy initiatives—ECS Cares and ECS Engage—which help our team members give back to the greater community.

ECS Cares sponsors volunteer activities throughout the year. ECS has 22 locations across 11 states, and this program allows ECS employees to come together, as colleagues and as a community, to make a difference for others in need.

ECS Engage allows full-time employees to apply for grants to support their favorite charities, the places where they’ve donated their own time and resources over the years. ECS has donated to more than 30 non-profit organizations recommended by our employees.

When one of our team members asked if we could get involved in the Autumn Sock Campaign, because they too had been homeless as a child, I understood the impact this effort could make. I could not be prouder of our team and ECS for promoting the campaign.
