DLH is committed to demonstrating our company values in everything we do. We are always striving to attain the highest level of responsible citizenship as an industry leader in the Federal health and human services market. Acting on this pledge is essential to business growth, sustainability, and maintaining the respect of our stakeholders worldwide.
As a responsible corporate citizen, we actively contribute to advancing the quality of life in the communities where we live and work through our giving program, DLH Cares. We currently support active duty military Service Members, Veterans, underserved children and families, and other at-risk populations.
Since the program’s inception, we have collaborated with numerous agencies whose missions closely align with our own. Past and present initiatives DLH Cares have supported through volunteerism and contributions include:
Each year, DLH employees across the nation participate in our annual National Window of Service (NWS) volunteer campaign. During this campaign, DLH employees contribute, volunteer, and serve in a variety of ways to honor and give back to our Veterans in the communities in which they work.
NWS kicks off on Patriot Day (September 11) and continues through Veterans Day (November 11). We offer this “Call to Duty” to all of our worksites and remote employees to get involved in a local initiative to help heal, house, and hire Veterans. The DLH Cares team leads all NWS efforts, diligently planning activities that align with our initiatives to benefit Veterans and Service Members, underserved children, families, and their communities, and other at-risk populations.
Each year during our NWS, we provide a list of volunteer opportunities. We encourage staff to visit this page during the NWS to review and register for events that may be of interest.
While the COVID-19 pandemic has changed some of the ways in which we are able to make an impact this year, the current public health moment has served as a stark reminder of the fragile health and housing conditions far too many members of our communities find themselves in on a daily basis. With service more important than ever, DLH Cares has found exciting, socially distant ways to get involved. Here are a few examples:
