Tru1TruGreen employees who choose to give to United Way have a great partner in increasing the impact of their giving – the very company where they work!

TruGreen company has pledged to provide a 50 cents on the dollar match to every employee pledge for this year’s United Way campaign. TruGreen employs about 2,000 people in Memphis and Shelby County.

“We’re looking forward to getting the word out and we’re encouraging participation,” said Patrick Alexander, TruGreen’s United Way campaign coordinator.
