Has your organization volunteered with Chicago Parks Foundation prior to this year?

Yes, we've done events with CPF for several years now. We love taking advantage of the opportunity to get outside during the summer and give back to our parks. The people at CPF are clearly very passionate about the work here, so it's always great to make new connections.

How does your organization’s mission relate to the volunteer work you've done with Chicago Parks Foundation?

ZS has taken on some big sustainability-centric goals as a part of our growing ESG commitments, so getting to work towards those goals on a local level with CPF has been a great match.

Highlights from Our Cleanup:

Seeing a big group of kids playing around on the playground as we were cleaning it up really made the impact clear.

Thanks for joining us, ZS!
