Firm volunteers

As part of Dickinson Wright’s efforts to promote a diverse and inclusive workplace, attorneys and staff came together on Monday, Jan. 16, to volunteer at charities throughout the U.S. as part of the firm’s Third Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. Employees rolled up their sleeves and pitched in, donating their time and money, to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. For one project, Dickinson Wright employees and family members volunteered at the Gleaners Food Bank in Detroit. Gleaners operates five distribution centers in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston and Monroe counties and provides food to 534 partner soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters and other agencies throughout southeastern Michigan. Gleaners collects nearly 39 million pounds of food a year and distributes 89,000 meals each day including providing nourishing food and nutrition education to 84,700 children a year.
