Tue Feb 03 2026
We talk with WTC’s Jeff Sackrider about turning corporate philanthropy into everyday practice, from quarter‑million dollar grants to citywide public Wi‑Fi and rapid food security support. A 114‑year local story shows how structure, culture, and partnerships make impact stick.
• why time, talent and treasure all matter
• how formalizing giving speeds emergency response
• roots in 1912 and a community-first mission
• free public Wi‑Fi as digital inclusion
• partnering with foundations and schools across towns
• building employee buy‑in in a small team
• practical steps for small businesses to start
• choosing one joyful cause and one urgent problem
We sure will. We’re looking forward to it. It’s always a lot of fun on March 23rd at the Hilton Garden Inn
