In 2015 Barenbrug initiated a global volunteering program called “Helping with Hands” designed to encourage Barenbrug employee’s to volunteer on company time to give back to their communities. Barenbrug, as a member of the Barenbrug Group, have embraced the concept and been actively involved in a number of community volunteering projects around the country. Here’s a sample of our efforts so far!
