With strong efforts focused on people, performance and the planet, we're proud to see our Corporate Partner Southwest Airlines leading the way in making a positive impact.
Our Employees at LaGuardia recently put their Heart in Action alongside our Repurpose with Purpose partners, Wing & Weft Gloves and Carlaesthetics ❤️💙💛 During Global Volunteerism Month, Wing & Weft Gloves and over 30 volunteers made 500 toiletry kits designed by Carlaesthetics utilizing upcycled Southwest aircraft seat leather while LaGuardia Employees collected toiletry items needed by local organizations that support those experiencing homelessness. LaGuardia Employees, Wing & Weft Gloves and Carlaesthetics then packed the kits and delivered to two local organizations: Covenant House and Urban Pathways. Thank you for sharing your Southwest Heart with others, LaGuardia, and thank you, Wing & Weft Gloves and Carlaesthetics for your partnership and creative expertise!
