Rocket Software Marks 35 Years by Giving Back to the Community 

Seattle Rocketeers Help People Experiencing Hunger

Rocketeers in Seattle partnered with Food Lifeline, Washington state’s largest hunger relief organization. Food Lifeline is dedicated to ending hunger in Western Washington through its food pantries, meal programs, and shelters network. Twelve Rocketeers, plus some of their family members, sorted through 11,560 pounds of potatoes and apples, transferring them from giant bins into 40-lb boxes. After sorting the food, it was distributed to local food banks and families in need within 48 hours. The team of Rocketeers was incredibly grateful to spend the day together helping those who needed it.  

Bengaluru Office Donates and Helps Local Nonprofit

To mark Community Day, Rocketeers from our Bengaluru office pooled funds to help the Karunashraya, Bangalore Hospice Trust, a palliative care center that is part of the Indian Cancer Society and provides free care to terminally ill patients. The team of nine Rocketeers volunteered their time at the nonprofit’s location, putting together medical kits, preparing food for patients, and spending the day together while assisting patients battling cancer.  

Arizona Rocketeers Volunteer at Local Food Banks

Rocketeers in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona, went above and beyond to help the hungry. The Phoenix office volunteered at United Food Bank in Mesa, Arizona, bagging food items before the food bank distributed them to over 120 partner organizations and food banks across central and eastern Arizona. 

About two hours down the highway, the Tucson-based Rocketeers volunteered at the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. This nonprofit relies on hundreds of volunteers to conduct its operations. Rocketeers sorted food at one of the many distribution centers before the packages were distributed to those in need.  

Lithuania Rocketeers Cleanup Local Castle Landmark

Rocketeers in the Vilnius, Lithuania office, persevered through rain and damp conditions to clean up the historic Vilnius Castle territory at Mountain Park for Community Day and Rocket’s 35^th anniversary. The park is considered a significant part of Vilnius’s cultural heritage and history. More than 50 team members came out to clean up trash, autumn leaves, and other debris at the historical site, portraying outstanding commitment and unity. Together, they transformed the local landmark to preserve it for future use and public enjoyment.
