Revitalizing Main Street with our Non-Profit Partners
Small businesses are the cornerstone of strong and vibrant neighborhoods. That’s why we’re partnering with three national nonprofit organizations Rebuilding Together, Habitat for Humanity International and NeighborWorks America in a $3-million effort to help small businesses stay in business and thrive following the COVID-19 pandemic.Byline: BTB Editor
June 8, 2020 / Time to read: 5 minMain Streets across America are hurting. Stay-at-home orders due to the COVID-19 pandemic forced many of them to close their doors for weeks or even months. And just as they began to reopen, protests and curfews have led to damage and additional closures.
Republic Services believes small businesses are the cornerstone of strong and vibrant neighborhoods. That’s why we’re partnering with three national nonprofit organizations to help during these unprecedented and challenging times. Through our Committed to Serve initiative, Republic Services is joining long standing partners

The Committed to Serve grants will strengthen and extend Republic’s partnership with these three nonprofits organizations, whose work the foundation already supports through its National Neighborhood Promise program. It has provided funds and volunteers to 47 unique projects positively impacting 1 million residents since 2019.
Committed to Serve is Republic’s $20 million initiative to support our 28,000 frontline employees, customers and communities during the COVID crisis. Since April, we’ve invested $17 million back into the communities we serve through meals for employees and their families bought from independently owned restaurants, and with gift cards to employees to be spent locally.
