With so many worthy charitable causes in need of support, we strive to align community involvement with our core values. Employees are encouraged to donate monetary values to organizations of their choice that directly affect them and Gewalt Hamilton matches the donation.
Since 2004, Gewalt Hamilton has participated in the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) through Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep in Waukegan, IL. Through the CWSP program, high school students gain valuable experience that reinforces critical thinking and organizational skills that encourage success in college and throughout their lives. http://www.cristoreystmartin.org/corporate-work-study-program/
We are particularly proud of our work with Habitat for Humanity; Gewalt Hamilton has supported Habitat since 2003. GHA annually volunteers within the local community to build and repair simple, decent, affordable houses with those who lack adequate shelter. Furthermore, Gewalt Hamilton participates in the Adopt a Family cause through Habitat and provides full Holiday meals to families and presents to the children. http://www.chicagolandhabitat.org/
Every May, Gewalt Hamilton gathers volunteers and participates in the Chicago River Day of Service. We plant native species, collect seeds, remove invasive species, and build trails at parks, preserves, and other natural areas within the Chicagoland area. http://www.chicagowilderness.org/
This Holiday season, Gewalt Hamilton shared our blessings and participated in the Presence Health Winter Coat Drive benefiting the MorningStar Mission and Daybreak Center in Joliet, IL. This effort helped clothe the less fortunate in the community. http://www.presencehealth.org/
