In November, Meyer, Unkovic & Scott launched The Kindness Card Project—an initiative developed by the firm's wellness and diversity committees to encourage the spread of kindness and appreciation during the season of giving.
The firm's initial goal was to sell 800 cards and raise $1,600, but in one month the firm sold more than 1,400 cards, and a total of $3,725 was raised for 412 Food Rescue.
Led by attorney Beth Slagle, 40 staff members volunteered to create hand-painted Kindness greeting cards that were available for purchase by attorneys, staff, family and friends. All donations collected for the cards benefited 412 Food Rescue and its food distribution and food waste mitigation initiatives throughout the Pittsburgh region.
