Buchanan Firm – Grand Rapids, Michigan
Rob Buchanan and his team are always looking for ways to volunteer in the community. Unfortunately, their favorite places were not currently taking volunteers for the safety of their staff. They began looking for other opportunities and recently teamed up with Friends of Grand Rapids Parks to focus their efforts on a community litter cleanup project. On June 26th, the Buchanan Firm team spent the afternoon cleaning up the parks of Ah-Nab-Awen and Rosa Parks.

- Despite their immeasurable contribution to the community, not-for-profit organizations across Western Australian are struggling to keep their doors open. Since 2015, we have been fighting against this trend, delivering $450,000 of financial and pro-bono assistance to three key charities. These include:resh Start Recovery Program (started by Dr. George O’Neil to treat drug addiction)
- Hagar Australia (a specialist aftercare agency that works with women and children who have survived extreme abuse or trafficking)
- Path of Hope (an organization providing assistance and resources to women vulnerable to, or currently experiencing, domestic violence)
