Making a #depotdifference
In 2018, Office Depot launched a new community investment initiative called #depotdifference. As our company continues to change and evolve in exciting ways, so too has the way in which we support the communities where we live and do business. #depotdifference brings an employee-centric, hands-on approach to empower us all to make a difference through robust employee volunteerism and philanthropic giving.

Depot Days of Service Expands


Depot Day of Service Expands Companywide in 2019

A year ago, we piloted Depot Day of Service in a few communities to take our volunteerism a step further. A robust celebration of service took root, culminating in large-scale “monumental” projects, where hundreds of volunteers come together to do something transformative. This year our celebration grows companywide, hosted across North America on May 11th!

Depot Celebrates Womens History Month


Celebrating Women’s History Month Supporting Dress for Success Worldwide

We celebrated Women’s History Month partnering with Dress for Success Worldwide to inspire our associates and engage our customers in their critical mission to empower women along their career journeys. Office Depot proudly donated over $190,000, hundreds of articles of interview clothing and hosted their CEO, Joi Gordon, for a day of motivation for our associates and community leaders.

The Mentorship Movement at Depot


The Mentorship Movement: Meet Volunteer Mentor Nadia Siddiqui

This year our company launched a new program called the Mentorship Movement, enabling associates like me to mentor and dedicate time to at-risk youth in our communities. This Movement and my new mentee relationship have been an incredible new journey, shaping the way I see the world. With mentoring, I entered thinking I would change someone’s life, but really, it ended up changing my own.
