Robinson & Cole employees help 11 groups

In the firm’s second annual Summer of Service, Robinson & Cole LLP lawyers and staff volunteered with 11 different nonprofit organizations based in Providence, Boston, Hartford, New York, and Stamford.
In Providence, volunteers helped the Rhode Island Community Food Bank with warehouse operations by stocking shelves, sorting food, and checking expiration dates. The food bank distributes donated food and nonfood household products to the community through a network of more than 250 agency food programs across Rhode Island.
A team also assisted the Nature Conservancy in Providence, clearing trails and building a bridge and a bench in the nature preserve.
Combined, employees from the five offices spent more than 270 hours beautifying parks, organizing distribution centers, and serving food.
“Our Summer of Service program was very well received last year, by both our lawyers and staff and the organizations we volunteered with,” said John H. Kane, chair of the firm’s Diversity Committee. “The program is in keeping with our firm’s history of actively giving back to the community, and it also fosters teamwork and comradery among our lawyers and staff whose work might not give them the opportunity to interact on a day-to-day basis.”
The firm’s Diversity and Women’s committees co-sponsor the program.
