Additional Charity Driven Events

Our Employee Focus Group (EFG) at ICL makes it a mission to not only encourage camaraderie among employees with planned events throughout the year, but more importantly to give back to our community.  As such, we plan events and work with several charities to help make a difference.

Blood Drives
Employees work with the Virginia Blood Services to organize blood drives in our Richmond Corporate office throughout the year.

Dear Jack Foundation 5K run
Our Wilmington port office participated in the Dear Jack Foundation 5K run in March 2012.  The foundation was founded by Andrew McMahon and his band Jack’s Mannequin in an effort to initiate change and provide a voice for the generations of young adults who have been diagnosed with cancer.  

School Supplies
Independent Container Line and First Capital Bank joined together in helping children in the Richmond area to have the valuable supplies they need for the school year.   ICL employees collected school supplies during the month of August and helped 'Stuff the Bus' for local area children.  We applaud the efforts of the employees of ICL and First Capital Bank in ensuring children have the supplies they need for a successful school year.
ICL employees participated in the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and the Chamber of Commerce sponsored 'Pack the Bus' event in August 2012.  We collected several boxes full of school supplies to aid the Richmond City Public Schools with their upcoming school year.
In combination with these efforts, our Chester port office collected school supplies for the Eddystone Elementary School.  Boxes of school supplies were given directly to the school to help students with their supply needs this year.
