Partner Spotlight: Hines

International real estate firm Hines is making global-scale change at Chrysalis! In 2021, Hines team members were inspired to form a partnership with Chrysalis that would support our clients and the ability of our staff to deliver our employment program.

In the recent few years Hines team members have provided 159 hours of one-on-one services to Chrysalis clients, including resume preparation and practice interviews. Employees have also worked with clients at quarterly resource and job fairs at our Downtown Los Angeles center and have helped sort clothing donations at our Orange County center. To date the company’s pro bono, volunteer, and financial support amounts to more than $30,000.

Chrysalis values the Hines employees who regularly volunteer in our centers and we love the extra energy they bring to special projects. From painting, replacing lighting fixtures, to repairing a very old HVAC system, the Hines team have shown their dedication to investing in their community.

Recently one of these special projects brought together 24 Hines employees for a day of service honoring their founder Gerald D. Hines. The group packed 500 sack lunches and 500 hygiene kits. They also sorted clothing and accessory donations, organized our resource room, and cleaned important storage areas in the Downtown Los Angeles center.

Way to go Hines! Thank you for your partnership and service.
