Microscan Gives Back

posted in Events


It gives Microscan great joy to give back to our community. Throughout 2011, Microscan employees donated their time, skills, presence and/or much needed items to several deserving organizations. We’d like to take a look back at our involvement this past year, and summarize just a few community needs that are important to the Microscan culture. Here are some of the places Microscan offered a helping hand in 2011:

SPRING
Tukwila Elementary School, Tukwila, WA
  • From January to May 2011, 13 Microscan Employees spent one day a week tutoring children in grades Kindergarten through Fifth Grade at Tukwila Elementary School, setting these kids’ feet on the road to success. Employees who participated in this program offered mentoring and friendship to students in their classes and assisted with class activities and learning exercises.
SUMMER
King County Regional Animal Shelter, Renton, WA
  • The many pet lovers of Microscan got some tails wagging this summer by donating crates, litter pans, chew toys, and kibble to the animals at our local shelter. To wrap up the supply drive, Microscan employees visited the King County Regional Animal Shelter to drop off the many donations and learn about the great things this shelter is doing for lost, abandoned, and injured animals all over our county.
FALL
Northwest Harvest, King County, WA
  • Passing along some Thanksgiving blessings, Microscan was quick to help Northwest Harvest feed the hungry this fall. Several bags of nonperishable food items were donated by Microscan employees this year to make sure local families all had warm meals for the holidays.
WINTER
Treehouse for Kids, Seattle, WA
  • Treehouse for Kids programs offer children in foster care in Washington State something every child deserves: dreams and hopes for the future. Microscan hosted a Giving Tree this holiday season and helped foster children have a happy holiday with gifts of toys and new clothes. Donations from our Giving Tree amounted to four boxes of gifts for local foster kids from ages 0 to 18.
