We’re nearing the end of Women’s Service Season! For our grand finale to these three months of community action, we’re circling back to an agency that has impressed us with their commitment to the community and engagement with volunteers: Community Action House.
We think they’ll impress you too. Since March 1 this year, Community Action House has:
- Provided 300,000+ meals to over 5,000 neighbors
- Shared 1,000+ meals per week at the Community Kitchen
- Assisted 34 families with foreclosure
intervention counseling
- Housed 16 neighbors who were living without shelter
 The need continues to be dire. At Thanksgiving this year, they expect to serve more than 5,000 people from 1,500 families. We’re inviting you to help with a donation as they work to Make Thanksgiving Hunger-Free. And when you give, your donation may be doubled, thanks to Herman Miller Cares.

Here’s how you can help—and double your impact:
- Go online and donate or put a check in the mail.
- Note that it’s in honor of Women’s Service Season. Online, this means choosing “honor” toward the bottom of the form, and keying in “WSS” or “Women’s Service Season” in the Tribute Name field. If you mail a check, make the note on the memo line.
- Herman Miller Cares will match, up to $1,000, donations from Women’s Service Season volunteers
