Schwab Volunteer Week began in the San Francisco Bay Area nine years ago and has since expanded to 45 cities across the United States. So I think it's only fitting to end my photo tour of last week's volunteer action where so many people leave their hearts.
These three Bay Area projects illustrate the very different ways Schwab helps nonprofit agencies that seek to alleviate poverty and build financial capability. Sometimes we teach financial skills in school classrooms...
Our photo tour of Schwab Volunteer Week moves west, with fantastic images from Austin, Denver and Phoenix.

Perla Daly got the “plum” assignment (sorry, I couldn’t resist) to photograph Austin employees volunteering at Urban Roots Farm. I always love these outdoor photos – especially this one of Jason Distel picking plums.
Instead of thinking outside the box, photographer Susan Ross of Austin made the box work for her...
Last week, more than 2,600 employees donated about 10,000 hours of service to about 160 different service projects as part of Schwab Volunteer Week. In key cities, a much smaller group of “Schwabbies” were hard at work: our volunteer photographers.

We’ve been waiting an entire year. Patiently, even.
We have our T-shirts ready: “Together for Good,” they say. That’s more than a slogan. It’s the entire reason behind Schwab Volunteer Week.

Six photos hang behind Carol Benz's desk at Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough, LLC, Wealth Management. The clear colors of hand-blown glass. The texture of a hand-woven hammock. The landscape of Mexico.
Each photo tells an individual story. But the framed collection forms a much larger picture.

For the past few months, I’ve spent time visiting our branch locations in markets around the country. The conversations I’ve had with our branch teams who are on the front lines every day have covered a wide range of topics, but they are all centered on one thing: our clients.
