How We Show Up for Our Community
Community involvement is important to us. To support this priority, our employees receive paid volunteer hours every month. Plus, our Volunteer Committee regularly promotes local volunteer opportunities and organizes formal volunteer events for Vernier employees. Whether it’s participating in the Tools for Schools packing event at Schoolhouse Supplies, staffing a shift at the Oregon Food Bank, or running a race to raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters, these events support important causes—and energize Vernier’s engagement with our communities.
Our Community Partners
We’re proud to support a variety of local organizations, including those focused on education and urgent community needs. Our community partners include Schoolhouse Supplies, In4All, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI), and SMART Reading.
Recognized for Philanthropic Achievement
We’re honored that the Portland Business Journal has recognized us more than 15 times for outstanding work in philanthropy. We’re also honored to have been named an Outstanding Philanthropic Corporation by the Oregon and Southwest Washington Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Supporting Our Community through Donations
We’re proud to support organizations that address immediate societal needs, expand access to education and essential resources, and strengthen the communities in the regions we serve. We donate cash and in-kind contributions to schools and nonprofits, both locally and nationally. Plus, we encourage our employees to support charitable organizations, and we amplify these efforts through a matching program.
