At Sequoia, our commitment to Purpose extends beyond the workplace. Each year, our teams have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the community, with four paid days off for volunteer work, plus a dedicated company-wide volunteer day. In 2023, our Orange County teams embraced this opportunity by contributing their time and effort at Second Harvest Food Bank Orange County's Harvest Solutions Farm. They picked, cleaned, and packaged cauliflower, a small yet impactful step towards supporting those in need. As we look forward to 2024, we are excited to continue our mission of giving back.
