Caterpillar Global Supply Network Division employees are fanning out across Central Illinois for what the company is calling Summer of Service. About 500 Cat Employees have signed up so far.
The Global Supply Network Division has been coordinating the volunteers with the 30 different community projects, including the Children’s Home Fishing Derby, Easter Seals facilities maintenance, Special Olympics youth athlete assistance, and neighborhood improvement projects with the South Side Mission.
The employees get a half day off work in exchange for their work on the projects designed to be about a half day of work. You might see the Caterpillar employees donning their volunteer T-Shirts working on projects this summer in Bloomington, Hanna City, Washington and Peoria.
Today a team of Cat Volunteers will perform a volunteer clean up at Glen Oak Park.
