Our different employee-driven programs, our culture, and our employees make working for CWS something special.

At the heart of CWS is our volunteer program, BRIDGE The program was designed to provide employees with the opportunity to give back to their local communities through volunteerism and community involvement. 

BRIDGE is employee-directed, affording each employee the opportunity to find their own passion in their community. Whether it is working at your local foodbank or volunteering at your local animal shelter, CWS is here to support you, your cause, and your efforts within the community. CWS donates $20 for each hour of volunteer service you complete, up to 12 hours per year. In 2018, CWS raised $110,595 in philanthropic donations, all 100% employee directed.

"Our 'BRIDGE' volunteer program makes me so proud of who we are. We are not a non-profit organization so to be able to put that part of our business aside and give back to the community is amazing. And most of the time the volunteer events can be done with my family. I am raising my kids to see that you can do both at the same time - make money and follow your giving heart."

Give back to your community with CWS and Enhance Lives-The CWS Way.
