XL’s Global Day of Giving

XL Capital Ltd celebrated its fourth annual employee volunteer day — XL’s Global Day of Giving — on June 3. The day is dedicated to supporting the communities in which XL companies operate. Employees have donated thousands of hours of community service to hundreds of charitable projects in various locations worldwide since the Global Day of Giving began in 2006 to commemorate the Company’s 20th anniversary. “In these tough economic times, communities need the assistance of reliable and caring companies like XL more than ever before,” said XL CEO Michael S. McGavick. “We at XL are more than willing to spend a day giving our time, energy and expertise to those causes and organizations that sustain the communities in which we live and work.” In Canada, XL’s staff in Toronto dedicated their day to helping two worthwhile organizations, including Creating Together, a drop-in and family resource center in Toronto that offers family assistance, and the All Saints Church Drop-in Center, which provides friendship, food, clothing and medical facilities for those in need. In Montreal, XL helped Moisson Montral, Canada’s largest food bank. In the food warehouse, they were involved in quality control, recycling and sorting out food that will be distributed to 204 organizations benefiting some 107,000 people in need.
