We Volunteer
At CP Lab Safety we believe in promoting sustainable practices in our community. We make it a company goal to have a positive impact on the environment around us. One of the best ways to achieve this goal is through volunteering. Not only does it help the environment but it also builds teamwork and character, allowing us to grow as a company while giving back to our world. Check out our pictures from volunteering below!

Emery Pharma + CP Lab Safety Volunteer Day – Lava Mae: Taking Radical Hospitality to the street
On December 18th, 2017, CP Lab Safety joined Emery Pharma in Oakland, CA to volunteer with Lava Mae. Sporting her awesome Periodic Table Hat and volunteer shirt, Kelly Farhangi, CEO and Co-founder of CP Lab Safety, helped hand out clothing to the homeless. According to an article from June, 2017 in the East Bay Times, “In the past two years, the number of Alameda County’s homeless has shot up 39 percent, to 5,629 people, according to a recent count.” Lava Mae is reaching out to the homeless population during the holidays, giving them clothing, medical care, food and supplies to get through the cold months. We are proud to have been able to contribute to this movement and hope to do so in the years to come.
More About Lava Mae:
Founded by Doniece Sandoval in 2013, Lava Mae began by converting public transportation buses into showers and toilets on wheels to deliver hygiene and rekindle dignity for our homeless guests in San Francisco. To-date, Lava Mae has served more than 4,000 individuals who have taken 20,000+ showers on our mobile units, dramatically raised awareness about the lack of access to showers and basic hygiene for our homeless neighbors, and inspired new mobile hygiene programs across the U.S. and abroad. In 2017, Doniece was recognized as a CNN Hero.

Location: Marin Headlands
Organization Website: http://www.parksconservancy.org/
About: Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy is a non-profit serving San Fransico and Marin counties in Northen California. The Marin Headlands, in Marin County, is one of 6 native habitats for the endangered Mission Blue Butterfly. For our 2017 Volunteer Day, we helped out with habitat restoration by removing the weed French Broom. The French Broom is rampant in Marin Headlands and is killing the perennial Lupine, a plant the Mission Blue Butterfly needs to survive.
