Giving Back to Causes We Are Passionate About
Helm Publishing and its staff are very passionate about giving back to our profession, communities, and global needs. We volunteer and support those with food insecurity, like World Central Kitchen, Feeding America, and our local food pantries. We also support cancer, Alzheimer’s and macular degeneration charities, as well as Doctors Without Borders, Disabled American Veterans, and the American Red Cross. As an alumni of Colorado State University, our founder, Kathy, has also contributed to the sports nutrition curriculum. We try to be conscious stewards of our environment, and to date have donated 500 trees to the National Wildlife Federation, and we support National Parks, National Geographic, Ocean Conservancy, National Audubon, and Defenders of Wildlife. Personally and in our mail order office, we work to cut down on paper use, reduce/reuse/recycle everything we can (we hate to see a good box go to waste), and have been life-long tree huggers.
