She breaks down CSR’s four pillars (financial, ethical, legal, philanthropic) and explains how 365 Connect primarily supports the philanthropic arm through strategic volunteer programming.A standout example is their work with Home Depot—locally supporting veteran and military initiatives (including Purple Star schools) and nationally leading large-scale community builds like post-disaster renovations in Asheville to create transitional housing for displaced veterans. Teresa also highlights why in-person volunteering “humanizes” impact, boosts employee retention and morale, and strengthens brand trust with customers.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/dwra1QHR1MaHtVdSctz-PA5GCdvlRrVp36hv84KcU5o/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ5MjQxLzE3MDY2/MzgzNTUtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
