Although the lead time necessary to plan Serv-a-palooza projects is long, Timberland recognizes the need to adjust for unplanned emergencies and natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina -- when the call for assistance is immediate and critical. In support of those impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, approximately 20 Timberland employees are participating in a special three-week service sabbatical in the Gulf Coast, coordinated by the American Red Cross.
Like all of Timberland's community service initiatives, Serv-a-palooza projects are designed to be sustainable in order to meet community needs long-term. Project sites are often perennial, offering volunteers a chance to build upon the positive impact that has been started in past years, and creating an opportunity for long-term relationships between Timberland, its partners and the local community.
