United Way
Whirlpool Canada runs an annual employee United Way campaign in partnership with the United Way of Peel Region.
Not only is this 2-3 week employee-run campaign a lot of fun, but with Whirlpool matching employee donations, the team has been a significant contributor and was recognized by the United Way with the Outstanding Employee Campaign of 2012 award.
Habitat for Humanity
Whirlpool Canada is a longstanding partner of Habitat for Humanity, contributing a Whirlpool ™ Refrigerator and Range to every new Habitat home in Canada and sponsoring a local build both financially and with employee volunteer hours.
KitchenAid Cook for the Cure
The KitchenAid Cook for the Cure Program was established in 2002 as a sustainable fund-raising program that has created an ongoing revenue stream for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Funds are raised through employee events, sales of pink KitchenAid products, and through donations received when someone hosts a Cook for the Cure party in their home.To find out more about the program, click here.
