Network of local HEART volunteers; guides, templates and grants for
employee initiated projects; and signature campaigns and events

Harris launched the program with its first signature campaign – 120 Days
of Service, which aligns with the company’s 120-year anniversary this
year. Every employee is being encouraged to volunteer a minimum of 120
minutes of service over a 120-day period beginning March 1, 2016. Harris
has set a goal of donating 40,000 hours of volunteer time to
philanthropic causes in support of this campaign.

In addition to promoting individual volunteer work, the 120 Days of
Service campaign will feature large-scale team events at various Harris
locations. During the team projects, employees will assemble summer STEM
kits for elementary school students, hygiene kits for homeless veterans
and families, and food packs for low-income students.

“Harris and its employees have a strong legacy of commitment to our
communities,” said William M. Brown, chairman, president and chief
executive officer. “The new HEART program strengthens and extends our
great tradition of philanthropy by making it easier for employees to
volunteer and to align their efforts with the organizations most in
need.”
