Every year on October 26, BARR Advisory closes its doors, and associates open their hearts for a day full of volunteerism. From the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Houston Humane Society, Kansas City New House Project, and the sunny coast of Maine (and many places in between), BARR associates joined forces, spending the Fifth Annual Day of Giving volunteering to better their communities.
“Day of Giving is one of our favorite days of the year. On this day, we all have one shared purpose—to make our communities stronger. It is amazing to see all of the different ways BARR associates serve from coast to coast,” said Jonnae Hill, culture and community engagement manager at BARR.

With October being BARR Belong Foundation Month, there’s many other opportunities for associates to give back. Through volunteerism, financial support, community leadership, and pro-bono services, the BARR Belong Foundation connects associates with causes close to their hearts.
“The BARR Belong Foundation exists to help create stronger, safer, more secure communities where our associates live and work. Simply stated, we are building a culture of philanthropy at BARR so that our associates have opportunities to support the causes important to them by lending their voice or giving their time, talents, and financial resources,” said Hill.
