Community service at Timberland. Our Purpose and Values come to life.

At Timberland, our Path of Service program (29 years strong!) pays employees for up to 40 hours of community service each year.
As part of this program, we have global service days in the spring on Earth Day, and host Serv-a-palooza every fall, offering employees community bettering activities to join in on.

For each one we partner with a local non-profit organization—providing tools, materials, and hours of free labor— to ensure we’re working on a project that’s not only needed and wanted by the community, but offering service with long-term sustainability.
 
This year Serv-a-palooza spanned three weeks, served seven associations, and included 326 hours served by 54 employees. Together they provided resources and labor to support a community organization, but even more so, helped raise awareness about the needs each organization is addressing.
