ViewPlus Volunteers at Benton County Food Share

This last Friday we all had the opportunity to volunteer at the Benton County Food share. The Food Share collects and provides approximately 5 million pounds of food each year. With this kind of volume they need all the volunteers they can get. While we were volunteering we were able to package approximately 5,810lbs of food within 3 hours!



We are proud to participate in at least two annual philanthropies a year. This last year we participated in the United Way Day of Caring in addition to sponsoring a giving tree during the holiday season.

ViewPlus Lives United


Once again, this holiday season we are giving back to our local community. As we have done in the past, we are participating in United Way's Giving Tree program to help support local families in need. Through United Way's collaboration with the Vina Moses Center, many families here in Benton County will be able to have a gift-filled Christmas.

If you are unfamiliar with the way this program works, many local businesses and organizations setup Christmas trees with gift tags as the ornaments. Those who wish to participate select a tag from the tree and buy a gift that corresponds to gender and age specific information listed on the tag. The unwrapped gifts are then donated to the Vina Moses Center and distributed accordingly.


This year, we are proud to say that ViewPlus has been able to collect over 100 gifts to help local children here in our community! For more information on the Vina Moses Center visit: www.vinamoses.org

ViewPlus Participates in United Way's Day of Caring

On August 25th, approximately 30 ViewPlus employees came together and braved the upper ninety degree weather to participate in the United Way's Day of Caring event. This year we helped local charitable organization, Home Life Inc. who assists people with developmental disabilities enjoy active, productive and independent lives. The actual Day of Caring is scheduled for September 22nd, however due to conflicting schedules we were able to make arrangements to participate early and have the biggest work crew possible.

We arrived onsite to a home donated to Home Life Inc. by the Teater family. The work consisted of weeding their garden, landscaping, deep-cleaning of the interior, painting the exterior of the home, and even gave some of our engineers the opportunity for a little demolition! Needless to say, there was ample opportunity for everyone to participate!

The event was a great success on multiple levels. First, we really enjoyed doing what we could to help out our local community and we all had a great time; it brought us closer together and was a great team building environment. Who knew all those could go hand-in-hand! We really look forward to helping out our community again in the future!

A special thanks to all of the coordinators at United Way and Home Life. We really appreciate all or your hospitality and flexibility.
