Thirty employees of Irvine, Calif.-based accounting firm White Nelson Diehl Evans participated in an event Jan. 17 supporting Santa Ana-based nonprofit Women Helping Women/Men2Work, which aims to empower individuals to secure economic self-sufficiency through employment success.
The group, including four partners and 12 newly hired employees, sorted clothes for WHW’s “Quarterly Saturday Sale.”
“It was a successful event,” stated WNDE employee Kyle Stevens. “We were able to build camaraderie with our fellow employees, and make a positive difference in our community.”
“We really like WHW’s mission,” stated WNDE staff member Erin Johnson. “Rather than providing, per se, a fish for a day, the organization helps individuals learn to fish for a lifetime through employment in various careers. They give those they serve the opportunity to become self-sufficient, and a way for them to be proud of their accomplishments.”
According to WHW staff member Robyn Williams, a “record-breaking” number of shoppers came to the Quarterly Saturday Sale, with WHW raising $12,000 to support “challenged job seekers on their journey to self-sufficiency.”
“This is the most we have raised since we moved to our location in Santa Ana,” Williams stated. “[The WNDE] team was an instrumental part of our success.”
