The primary focus of our corporate resources and employee talents is on programs for children and education. The centerpiece of our Corporate Giving Program is the United Way. By working through the United Way, we are able to join with other companies to help local groups solve local problems. We support a dollar for dollar match of contributions made by our employees Company wide. Our work with Habitat for Humanity in Atlanta and Phoenix has helped to provide home ownership for the working poor.
Families pay for their homes through sweat equity hours and zero interest loans.
Our employees support this program by working side by side with the homeowners and their children. Contribution Committees Employee committees located at our manufacturing facilities and at Corporate Headquarters make local funding decisions. Our Corporate Contributions Committees acknowledge and encourage the efforts of employees who actively volunteer in their communities by making their requests for funding a priority. The involvement of Dial employees is an important measure of how they value various social programs and services and where they believe help is needed. Dial's role in the community has grown stronger by listening to its employees' views on areas in need.
