New York Life's annual Month of Service in September resulted in more than 1,700 employees and agents volunteering in their local communities nationwide. Volunteers worked on 132 community projects to support the childhood bereavement theme and gave more than 8,000 hours of service – the equivalent of 4.6 people working full-time for an entire year. New York Life estimates the monetary value of this volunteer time is more than $174,000.
"I applaud all of the New York Life people who participated in our Month of Service," said Chris Park, president of the New York Life Foundation. "This is the second year our agents and employees from across the country have come together to give their time and talent to illustrate the company's continued commitment to improving the lives of young people and their families coping with loss."
Throughout September, New York Life agents and employees volunteered at bereavement camps for children; raised funds for bereavement organizations; beautified bereavement centers; and created comfort items for grieving children.
