Savage Volunteers Sweep Through Ogden
Company gives backs to community during annual convention
Savage Services, a materials management and transportation company, recently convened their annual convention in Ogden Utah. Taking a break from their daily seminars, more than 450 employees engaged in 11 volunteer projects throughout the community. Donating more than 2,000 hours of labor (valued at $ 40,500), Savage employees cleaned up shelters, planted gardens, painted, repaired, quilted, and left Ogden better than how they found it. Thank you Savage employees!VISTA's Sow and Grow some Good
