Quest’s Corporate Giving Program captures the passion and commitment of our workforce to make meaningful contributions to the communities where we live and operate through a combination of financial support, donated and discounted services, and volunteer time.
EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERISM
Quest supported our employees in volunteering with a range of community initiatives, organizations, and events throughout 2023. Highlights included a host of EBN activities during Volunteer Week, supporting Quest for Health Equity (Q4HE) grantees, and having the largest corporate team at the New York City Juneteenth 5K Run/Walk/Roll. In 2023, we held our fourth annual Season of Giving campaign where Quest double-matched donations to eligible organizations (up to the annual cap of $2,500 per employee), with over $200,000 collectively donated. In addition, we hosted holiday drives supporting local organizations. Employees provided thousands of meals for individuals through regional food banks and collected hundreds of toys for children in need.
