As a part of our annual Corporate Social Responsibility program, Wurkwel Ventures, LLC selects one non-profit or charitable organization in our community and outfits them with upgraded office furniture. We believe in creating a better workplace for today’s workers, regardless of budget, through environmental consciousness and sustainable practices. This giveaway is our way of helping those that could use a little help in creating an attractive and functional workspace for their employees. Our 2024 recipient was Save-A-Pet, Inc in Grayslake, IL, who provides a safe haven for abused, neglected, injured, lost, or animals that have escaped euthanasia. They do not put a limit on the amount of care they provide for an animal and they never give up on them! Take a look below at a little more information on the project, and thank you to all the staff at Save-A-Pet for all the great work you do!
