GROWMARK, Inc.

This holiday season, challenge your team to volunteer differently! Out there somewhere is a non-profit that needs the unique mix of knowledge and experience only your team brings to the table. Last week, GROWMARK, Inc. Training & Development dedicated an afternoon to build out a training program for Midwest Food Bank’s core volunteers. We often take for granted the things we do every day. The project blitz reminded us we are cable of doing great things, together, under tight timelines. And all the more rewarding to know our efforts will support Midwest Food Bank’s mission for months to come. Super proud to be part of this team! #growmarklife #givingback #community #training

Today, we participated in our first #GivingTuesday event! With the support of our employees, we delivered FIVE, $5,000 checks to local non-profits in our community, including Home Sweet Home Ministries, Inc., The Salvation Army-Bloomington IL, YWCA McLean County - Labyrinth House, Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington-Normal, and Lifelong Access. We are incredibly proud to support these organizations and look forward to continuing to give back to our community. #GROWMARKLife #CommunityImpact

This holiday season, we’re reminded of the power of giving and the impact we can make together. At our recent ImpactLife blood drive, #GROWMARK employees surpassed our donation goal with 20 whole blood and 4 double red donations—enough to save up to 72 lives! Even more meaningful is knowing these donations stay local, directly impacting individuals in Central Illinois. Giving back is at the heart of what we do, and we’re grateful to be part of a team that steps up to make a difference in our community. ❤️ #GROWMARKlife
