    Big things happen when dedicated volunteers come together! Last week 150 CarMax employees spent the day at a Milwaukee public school, transforming classrooms, the staff lounge and even the garden bed. They tackled it all with energy and passion! Points of Light exists to connect nonprofits, companies and social impact leaders to inspire volunteers to meet critical needs and we’re immensely proud to witness the transformative impact made by the CarMax volunteers and our Global Network affiliates Volunteer Fairfax and Boston Cares. #VolunteerImpact #EmployeeVolunteering
