CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) recently launched the kickoff of CA Together in Action, the company’s worldwide employee volunteer month. This year marks the ninth anniversary of the initiative, which takes place in communities around the globe where CA Technologies has a presence.

CA Together in Action gives employees the opportunity to take time out of the work day to participate in a variety of volunteer activities. Projects include park and beach clean-ups, mentoring children, promoting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, building affordable housing and assisting food banks with feeding the hungry.

"Participation levels have continued to grow year after year, demonstrating the commitment CA Technologies employees have to sharing their time and talents in the communities where they live and work," said Erica Christensen, vice president, Corporate Social Responsibility, CA Technologies. “We are excited to once again be working with so many great organizations around the globe.”

Since its inaugural year in 2005, CA Together in Action has provided support to more than 1,200 volunteer projects with approximately 45,000 hours of community service. While CA Technologies has annual initiatives, like CA Together in Action throughout the month of October, and a Green Week of environmental programs in April to celebrate Earth Day, volunteer opportunities are available year round and employees are able to use up to three work days each year to give back.

Partner organizations from communities in the U.S. and abroad continue to express their excitement in partnering with CA Technologies during CA Together in Action.

“The Atlanta Community Food Bank is very appreciative of CA Technologies and its employee volunteers who will be participating in our sorting and repacking sessions for the eighth consecutive year,” said Vilma Wallace, volunteer manager. “Year after year, we look forward to this dedicated group of volunteers who assist us in the fight to end hunger in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia areas.”

“Through technology courses for students, equipment donations and environmental improvements, CA Technologies and its employees have supported the Czech Republic’s School for the Deaf Holečkova for several years,” said Mgr. Václav ChmelíÅ™, school director. “We are excited to have CA employees back again to participate in activities for CA Together in Action and look forward to continuing this great partnership in support of children who are hearing impaired.”
