We've Got Your Back 2019
Donation protected
The fourth annual We’ve Got Your Back program is a WWC-led initiative that was created to help start schoolkids off on the right foot. WWC staff personally purchases school supplies from area stores and organizes individual backpacks. The backpacks are distributed to WWC’s multifamily properties, with any additional supplies to be donated to local underprivileged schools.
“We’ve Got Your Back not only benefits children but multi-family communities as a whole”, says Janet LePage, Chief Executive Officer of WWC.
“The smiles we see on the kids’ faces are worth it alone, but We’ve Got Your Back is also a great personal way to connect parents and our property management staff,” says LePage. “This initiative is part of our broader goal of wanting to create better communities, which goes beyond monetary investment. We want to create communities that are good places to live for our residents, and good places to work for our employees."
Last year, WWC gave out over 1500 school backpacks and generated many smiles from kids, parents and WWC staff alike. We were able to get donations from our brokers, and other business partners, in addition to each site contributing. Every single child on our sites were set up to start the school year on the right track, with a brand-new backpack full of new stuff! We had a fun function at each community to let the kids come in and take their pick of backpacks – with snacks, drinks, games, and helped to build excitement for starting another school year.
We’ve Got Your Back is led by WWC’s corporate philosophy of: “We do business on human terms, not term sheets alone.” At WWC, we have a fiduciary responsibility to people:
For our investors, provide a return on equity.
For our residents, create communities they’re proud of.
For our staff, provide a rewarding and empowering place to work.
