Winston Summer Associates Make an Impact in Our Communities

Our Corporate Social Responsibility program—Winston for Good—is built on the firm’s values and heritage and makes an intentional impact in our communities. Local office Winston for Good teams identify, coordinate, and mobilize multiple volunteer activities each year, including opportunities for our summer associates to contribute.

Organizations where members of Winston’s 2019 summer associate class lent their time, talent, and energy to help enhance the lives of others include:

• Habitat for Humanity: The weather cooperated nicely for our Charlotte Winston for Good volunteers who built two sheds for members of the local community.
• Bernie’s Book Bank: Summer associates and attorneys sorted and packaged books to support this organization’s mission to distribute 3.6 million books to 360,000 at-risk children in Chicago this year.

• Ronald McDonald House: In Houston, Winston’s summer associates served ice cream sundaes and hosted a game night for families with seriously ill children who are provided a “home away from home” by this organization.

• Los Angeles Regional Food Bank: As part of the firm’s involvement in the 2019 Food from the Bar (FFTB) campaign, our Los Angeles summer associates assembled 3,600+ pounds worth of nutritious food kits during their volunteer shift.
• San Francisco-Marin Food Bank: Our San Francisco summer associates also participated in FFTB, working with other volunteers to pack up more than 13,000 pounds of cherries.

• Food Bank for NYC: New York summer associates shucked corn and sorted other fresh vegetables donated to this organization, which distributes food to over 1.5 million hungry New Yorkers each year.
• The Stewpot: In Dallas, our summer associates served dinner at the Second Chances Café operated by The Stewpot, which offers a safe haven for homeless and at-risk individuals.

• American Heart Association: In addition, two of our Washington, D.C. summer associates joined the Winston for Good team that participated in the 29th Annual Lawyers Have Heart walk/run, which benefits the American Heart Association.
