A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:

Each September, the United Way of Addison County hosts its Days of Caring, two days where community members can assist nearby health and human service agencies. The first day is a weekday where local businesses are encouraged to give their employees the day off to contribute. The second day, on a weekend, is a great day for Middlebury students to reach out and pitch in.

The Middlebury College Staff Council also sponsors an annual fall food drive for staff members to contribute food items for the local food shelf. Middlebury College Community Engagement sponsors the “Giving Trees” program in collaboration with local non-profit Helping Overcome Poverty’s Effects (HOPE) to provide holiday gifts for local families in need. Various staff members also arrange one-time community service events with their office colleagues. One example is cooking at the Community Supper program.
