"It was awesome to be away from work and share a common bonding experience with people I've only known over e-mail. I met colleagues for the first time in person when I recognized the Team Schwab jersey."

Companywide Drives
Schwab conducts special drives to collect food, clothing, toys, school supplies and other items for those in need.
- Back-to-school drives have contributed thousands of essential school supplies, which are distributed to local organizations, elementary schools, centers for child protection and women's shelters.
- Coat drives have collected more than 500 coats for the One Warm Coat drive.
- Food drives have garnered thousands of pounds of non-perishable food items for local food banks in key U.S. cities.
- Holiday toy drives have collected thousands of toys and books to help make the holidays brighter for needy children.
- Project Night Night has collected stuffed animals, books and security blankets to create individual tote bags for children in homeless shelters. The organization provides "comfort items" that a homeless child rarely owns, including a stuffed animal, a security blanket and an age-appropriate book.
