Casey’s has been a long-time supporter of On With Life and has made several donations to its facilities over the years. This year, their support continues in a new way – through service!
Every year Casey’s hosts a “Best-in-Class” summer internship for college students who are looking for real-world business experience. Because serving the community is at the core of Casey’s mission, a service project is a tradition of the annual internship. This year, the intern class spent a day landscaping at On With Life’s Residential Neuro Rehabilitation Home, a transitional setting for persons served working toward returning to home.
“Having the Casey’s interns come out and do the landscaping for our residential rehabilitation home was a truly amazing thing to watch as they went through the steps while also engaging with the person served,” said Shaylee Cheers, residential support lead.
Organizing these service projects for both employees and interns encourages those individuals to give back while also introducing them to organizations they may have not had a connection with otherwise.
“Our Summer Intern Program partnered with On With Life because of its unwavering dedication and remarkable service to neighbors and guests of our community,” said Casey’s Associate Talent Acquisition Specialist, Meredith DeGroot. “We hope our interns were able to reflect on the importance of giving back to the community, gain a better understanding of the life-changing work happening within On With Life and see how just a few hours of their time can positively impact so many.
