In 2002, the Eastern Cares program was established to exhibit a profound care for people with the ultimate goal of having a positive impact upon the lives of others not only within our company, but also in our communities, our country, and other cultures around the world. Eastern offers helping hands of service because of our concern and compassion for others in need. Using our gifts, talents, and abilities and giving from our resources, Eastern is committed to serving others.
COMPANY
In caring for our Company, Eastern partners with Marketplace Chaplains USA, an outreach ministry that provides teams of professionally-trained, experienced Chaplains who extend compassionate care to our most valuable asset—our Associates and their families. read more...
COMMUNITY
Eastern demonstrates care and commitment to our local communities by volunteering our time and resources to local outreach programs. Locally, each branch donates to community blood drives, rescue missions, and youth and children's homes such as the Helping Hands Ministry in Atlanta, Georgia.

Eastern’s care for other cultures is exemplified through our Eastern Cares Mission Work Program, supporting Associates with paid leave to take part in mission-oriented projects, whether at home or to distant corners of the world.
