Cordell, Neher & Company, PLLC celebrated its 35^th Annual Community Service Project with a day of service benefitting Camp Fire. This employee volunteer day is a testament to the company’s unwavering dedication to giving back to the North Central Washington community and fostering a spirit of volunteerism among its employees.

Since 1988, Cordell, Neher & Company, PLLC has been committed to giving back to the communities it serves and supporting regional non-profit organizations. Each year, the firm closes its doors for one day and the staff volunteers time to help a selected organization or individual in need. Over the years, the firm has cleared and built trails, provided general maintenance and grounds clean-up, stained buildings, and more.

In late May, more than 35 volunteers from Cordell, Neher & Company worked to clean up Camp Fire’s Camp Zanika near Lake Wenatchee, refreshing landscaping, painting cabins, and constructing recreational areas, to prepare for the upcoming season.

Camp Fire has served youth since opening in 1918, making them one of the most successful and deeply rooted youth-development organizations in our community. Their focus is to provide a nurturing, constructive and fun environment for young people to discover their sparks, unique skills, passions, and interests.

Camp Fire’s purpose as a leading youth development organization and their commitment to providing inclusive programming for our youth communities is inspiring to us all, and we were excited to work with their team to help clean up the camp for the upcoming summer months.”
