Each year, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with our annual Day of Service Challenge, in which three Weyerhaeuser employees are awarded a $3,000 grant for the nonprofit they support. To enter, Weyerhaeuser employees posted a photo and description of their nonprofit project to our Facebook.
This year, 19 community service projects vied to win the grant. The projects took place over six months, and employees, family and friends had until Feb. 25 to express their support on Facebook.
