Take Time To Give

The attorneys and staff of Mitchell, Williams, Selig, Gates & Woodyard, P.L.L.C. believe it is our essential responsibility to play active, positive roles in the communities in which we work and live, and because of this, are dedicated to strengthening organizations that play a vital part in supporting our neighbors.
 
Engaging in service and leadership activities with organizations central to providing charitable, social, educational or cultural enrichment, Mitchell Williams’ Take Time To  Give program has incorporated more than 150 organizations throughout Arkansas and the region since its launch as a formal initiative six years ago.  The firm lends support through financial contribution, pro bono services the thousands of volunteer hours our attorneys invest annually serving on boards and committees for numerous foundations and charitable events.

In 2010, the firm launched a new website dedicated to statewide nonprofits – www.TakeTimeToGive.com. The site features news, photos and a comprehensive calendar of events hosted by the many nonprofits in Arkansas and the region.  Along with the new website, the firm also provides daily news updates and volunteer opportunities on Twitter at twitter.com/taketimetogive.
