Announcing our 2023-25 Community Partners
May 12, 2023Kahler Slater is excited to welcome our 2023-25 community partner organizations. Community involvement and volunteerism is integral to who we are. We are dedicated to finding ways to support diversity, equity, and inclusion in the communities we live, work, and serve.
Our two-year partnership program began over 10 years ago in an effort to form relationships and have a deeper impact on the community. For 2023-25, we have committed to partnering with Groundwork Milwaukee, Hartland Farm Sanctuary, Greater Chicago Food Depository, and Shalom Farms. We look forward to making a meaningful impact with each organization and the local communities they serve.
