At Riley & You, we maintain a strong focus on our work ethic and staying on top of marketing trends. But we also believe strongly in giving back to our community and lending a helping hand when we are able. For the past ten years, we’ve been setting aside company profits to give away. We select our top client each year, give them a dollar amount, and ask them to spend it on items of their choice in the Samaritan’s Purse® Christmas Gift Catalog.
Each year, Samaritan’s Purse® sends out a catalog that categorizes how a donation can be spent. $15 helps a child learn to read and write in the poorest of countries in the world. $70 purchases a goat for a family in need of milk. $75 rescues a child from bondage and abuse. No matter the amount, the money is used in a specific way.

We love giving funds to our top clients and letting them choose how they are spent at Samaritan’s Purse®. One year, a client went home with the catalog, pulled aside his oldest child, and together they selected goats, freshwater wells, and other gifts. The experience was fulfilling for everyone: our client, his family, and our company.
Another way that we give back is by allotting volunteer hours to our employees. In addition to personal hours, we give each person a set amount of paid hours during the year to spend volunteering within the community: at a non-profit, soup kitchen, nursing home, or school. Again, this has positive effects on our employees as well as those in need. It’s important to us to make a difference in the world in small and big ways.
