Clean Up – Give Back has nearly 1,400 volunteers. They have
performed 9,500 service hours in the community, picking up more
than 41,000 pounds of trash in 2021 alone.
“We appreciate PPG and Ardagh Metal Packaging volunteering their
time and resources to make our workspace beautiful,” said Donna
Adam, Founder of Clean Up – Give Back. “It will inspire us to
continue our work to clean up and beautify our communities.”
Volunteers repainted the facility's interior walls and cabinetry
with colors chosen by PPG specialists and the organization’s
leaders to create an inviting space for the employees, volunteers,
and those they serve. They also painted an inspiring mural to help
create a sense of community.
“Clean Up – Give Back has a passion for cleaning up
neighborhoods, and we have a passion for giving back by protecting
and beautifying the spaces that inspire communities to do great
work,” said Amy Ericson, PPG senior vice president, Packaging
Coatings. “We proudly partnered with colleagues from Ardagh to
transform the Clean Up – Give Back facilities and bring PPG’s
purpose to life.” PPG provided the paint.
The Colorful Communities program provides PPG volunteers and
products along with financial contributions to bring color and
vitality to communities where the company operates around the
world.
“Through the Colorful Communities program and our PPG
partnership, we brought color and vitality to the Clean Up – Give
Back new office and community center,” said Claude Marbach, chief
executive officer, Metal North America of Ardagh Group, a global
supplier of metal and glass packaging. “We are happy to volunteer
our time and harness our skills for a worthy cause.”
