SCA & Nestlé Nespresso Community Engagement Event - New York, NY

Join Nespresso and SCA on Thursday, August 10th to restore Randall's Island in Manhattan!

Nestlé in the U.S. is hosting #NestleCares, a national day of volunteering across Nestlé’s 120 U.S. hometowns. SCA is proud to be a partner in this endeavor by facilitating opportunities for Nestlé in the U.S. employees, families, and friends to engage in team-based service projects in 9 different cities. These projects will focus on some of the most urgent conservation needs including pollinator habitat restoration and water conservation.

Randall's Island, situated in the East River between northern Manhattan and Queens, is an island in New York City devoted to recreational space and the preservation of nature.
