Pilot Team Members Serve Local Communities for Spring Volunteer Day
At Pilot, we strive to create miles of good in our communities through our charitable giving and volunteer programs. It's part of how we live up to our purpose of showing people they matter at every turn. On April 8, 2026, 686 Pilot team members in eight office locations across the U.S. participated in service projects with 75 nonprofit organizations as part of our annual Spring Volunteer Day. That's 2,135 hours of impact that we were able to make in one day for our communities. Here’s a closer look at a few of the ways our teams gave back.
Sharing Smiles with Kids
In Texas, team members volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas, whose mission is to provide a home away from home for families traveling so their child can receive medical treatment. The team hosted a “Lego Challenge” activity for the children staying there, creating time for play, creativity and joy during a challenging time.
Lending a Helping Hand
In Orange, California, team members spent time at The Hub OC, a resource center that each day supports more than 200 individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Team members pitched in by packing meals, painting, cleaning and organizing supplies, helping advance The Hub’s mission to serve people with dignity and love.
Supporting Educators
In Tennessee, team members pitched in at Knox County Schools’ Teacher Supply Depot, where teachers and other school personnel can shop free of charge for new classroom materials donated by local businesses and organizations. Pilot team members sorted and packaged school supplies and wrote notes of thanks and encouragement for local education professionals.
Caring for Natural Resources
Another group of our Tennessee team members spent the day at the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont, whose mission is to provide immersive programs that connect people to nature and to one another. Pilot volunteers helped remove harmful invasive plant species, supporting efforts to restore and protect the ecosystem at the Tremont facility.
Pilot is privileged to invest our time and resources to strengthen the communities around us. We’re looking forward to holding another Volunteer Day in October 2026. Visit the Miles of Good™ webpage to learn more about how Pilot is making a positive impact in the places in which we live and work.
