“The Oracle Volunteering program has helped me connect to colleagues with a shared passion for local causes. By coming together to volunteer as a team, rather than as individuals, we can do more and have a much bigger impact on our local communities.”
Causes we support
Helping communities during the pandemic
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, employees are stepping up to support their communities. Oracle Volunteers use 3D printers to create personal protective equipment for healthcare workers, donate groceries and essential goods for people in need, ensure first responders feel appreciated, and more. Organizations we support include Operation Gratitude, Projeto Arrastão, and Robin Hood Army.
Connecting with our elders
Ultimately, we all hope to be older people. Oracle Volunteers value and respect elders and connect with them by chatting, writing letters, playing games, and crafting together. During the COVID-19 pandemic—a time of heightened isolation and vulnerability for older people—volunteers continue to connect creatively and safely. We engage with organizations such as AGE of Central Texas, Friends of the Elderly, and Fundación Herrera.
Working to end food insecurity
According to the United Nations World Food Programme, 821 million people—or 1 in 9 individuals—experience food insecurity globally. This is a reality that motivates Oracle Volunteers around the world to support local food banks and free meal programs. Volunteers host food drives, sort donations, and distribute food to the community in support of Central Texas Food Bank, Greater Vancouver Food Bank, North Paddington Foodbank, Rise Against Hunger Philippines, Second Harvest Food Bank, and Voedselbank Amsterdam, among others.
Collecting essentials for those in need
Every year, employees lead collection drives to ensure that the most vulnerable in our communities have what they need. Volunteers collect and pack gifts for the holidays, fill backpacks with school supplies for students, donate clothing to help job seekers dress for success, and pack essentials for those displaced by natural disasters. We volunteer with Alagang Kapatid Foundation, Books2Africa, Dress for Success, Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, and Midwest Veterans Closet, among others.
Caring for the animal world
Around the world, Oracle Volunteers care and advocate for animals. They maintain and repair shelters, assist with feeding and exercising, and help educate the public about animal protection and adoption. Organizations we support include Asociaţia Red Panda, Austin Animal Center, LA Animal Services, Persatuan Haiwan Malaysia, and Robi Animal Protection Association.
Mobilizing for a healthy future
Oracle Volunteers are always willing to go the extra mile to build healthier communities. They run marathons, pedal in cycling events, and walk many miles to raise awareness and funds for causes they care deeply about. We team up with A Precious Child, Asociaţia Magicamp, JDRF, The Prince’s Trust, Travis Manion Foundation, and others, to support health, wellness, and opportunity for all.
