Slalom Chicago's Annual Day of Service
Slalom believes that in being part of the fabric of our Chicago community, we must support the people and organizations in the city where we live and work. On January 17, 2022, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we committed to volunteering our time and talents through “a day on, not a day off."
This year, Slalom came together and offered a variety of volunteer opportunities that focus on: Job-Readiness, Care Packages, Meal Donations, Pro Bono Support, and the opportunity to Choose Your Own unique ways to give back to the community.
