Last year, we merged our annual Sharing Wellness event with Cardinal at Work Cares to create a more meaningful experience for Stanford employees who wish to give back to their local communities.

We continue to support this event, and we encourage you to participate to showcase the multitude of ways Stanford employees engage with their communities.

The event is virtual so you can get involved from wherever you are in a way you feel most comfortable. The event is open and will run through November 19.

You can record your compassionate acts of kindness or giving back so we can see the breadth of our impact on our local communities.

To participate, visit Cardinal at Work Cares and click the “Log your act of kindness” button. From there, you can enter your compassionate act. Employees who choose to participate can also opt into a giveaway for a $10 Amazon gift card provided by the Stanford Federal Credit Union (10 available). 

You choose how to get involved: volunteering, donating, lending a hand to a neighbor, writing thank you cards to local hospitals or wildfire fighters, or something else. For ways to give back, Cardinal at Work has included a list of ideas to participate and organizations to support, and you can refer to our article on Dialing up your community engagement.
