Corporate Charitable Giving. At BKF We Receive More Than We Give

June 14, 2023

Corporate charitable giving should be an essential aspect of any business’s social responsibility. It is a way for companies to give back to their communities and support causes that align with their values. A company supporting local charities shows they care about the community’s well-being.

Bar Keepers Friend doesn’t talk about charitable contributions a lot. That’s not why we do it. It’s not for recognition. Bar Keepers Friend contributes because it’s the right thing to do and feels good. Here are a few of the many charities BKF supports. If any of these charities light a spark for you, click the link to learn how to volunteer or contribute.
