Innovation alone does not define a nation. Progress also depends on service, civic engagement and a shared commitment to communities.
This belief is reflected in America Gives, the nationwide initiative encouraging Americans to volunteer in their communities as part of the lead-up to the nation’s 250th anniversary.
Leidos employees and their families are participating in this mission through volunteer activities and community engagement opportunities throughout the year. In June, Leidos joined America250, the Washington Nationals, Coca-Cola Consolidated and the Capital Area Food Bank for a large-scale meal-packing event supporting families facing food insecurity.
On Independence Day, Leidos volunteers and family members will be among 125 volunteers at Nationals Park in Washington D.C., unfurling a giant American flag during the pregame celebrations. We will also continue to honor our service members by presenting the traditional Salute to Service, leading the day’s most visible tribute to the nation and those who serve it.
Preparing for America’s next 250 years
As Americans prepare to celebrate this historic anniversary, the effort serves as a reminder that the next chapter of the nation’s story will be written by the people who choose to innovate, serve and help build a stronger future for generations to come.
By bringing together innovation, service and civic participation, the partnership between Leidos and America250 is helping ensure that America’s future is shaped not only by what we imagine, but by what we do together.
