At Wayfair there's work. Then there's outside of work.
 Every day, the people here at Wayfair consider ourselves lucky to do what we love. And to work where we work. When you have good fortune like this, it's important to give back. Over the past several years, Wayfair employees have donated our time, energy, and funds to those that need help. And we don't intend to stop. In the future, we'll take on as many events as our employees can propose. We promise.


Wayfair Co-Founder Steve Conine Bartends for a Cause

More than 70 Wayfair employees gathered at McGreevy’s this holiday season, a popular Boston pub and sports bar, to enjoy cocktails served up by Wayfair’s co-founder, Steve Conine. Steve put his mixology skills to the ultimate test by filling hundreds of beverage orders that ranged from waters to whiskeys – and at a very fast pace! All of the tips that Conine collected behind the bar were matched by McGreevy’s and donated to The Home For Little Wanderers, a Massachusetts charity that assists children in need.

The Boston Globe attended the event, and even published a piece titled “Hey Boss, Can You Make Me A Margarita?” that included Wayfair and went into more detail about the creative ways that companies were infusing employee interaction and fundraising efforts

$1,775 Raised for Home for Little Wanderers Big Wishes 2011 Gift Drive

Wayfair employees teamed up this holiday season, and raised $1,775 for the Home for Little Wanderers “Big Wishes” 2011 Gift Drive. The annual fundraiser supports children across Massachusetts by providing them with toys, gifts, and other holiday essentials that they may not have had access to otherwise. The Home also helps by providing children with fun, family-friendly holiday activities. 

“No child should be left without a present during the holidays” said Michelle Lemire, Learning & Development Manager and the fundraising organizer for the event. “Wayfair employees were eager to donate, excited for the cause, and happy to help our home community.” This is the second year that Wayfair has contributed to the Home for Little Wanderers’ toy drive, and we will continue to be a part of their efforts in the future.

 

Wayfair Employees Donate 4,000+ Pounds of Food and $1,255 to Boston Food Bank

During the month of November 2011, Wayfair employees collected and donated a whopping 4,230.5 Lbs. of food to the Greater Boston Food Bank. Although this was the third year that Wayfair has participated in the food drive, this was a record-breaking year, with the weight of the donated food exceeding that of a standard car! On top of the food donations, Wayfair employees also raised $1,225 in cash to support the Food Bank’s efforts.

A big thanks to Emily Moore, a Senior Associate in the Data Compliance Department at Wayfair for overseeing the donation efforts for the third year in a row. According to their site, the Greater Boston Food Bank’s mission is to end hunger in Eastern Massachusetts.

From Category Management to Cradles to Crayons

On December 13th 2011, eight members of the Category Management Team volunteered in Brighton, MA at Cradles to Crayons, an organization devoted to providing low income and homeless children with “the essentials they need to feel safe, warm, ready to learn, and valued.”

The group spent the day assembling Clothes Packs – a week’s worth of entire outfits, pajamas, and accessories for individual children, just in time for the Massachusetts winter.

Stirred by the enormous need for supplies, the CM Team intends to organize a follow-up drive back at Wayfair to collect clothing and toys to grant to Cradles to Crayons.
