Freedom Day is designed for EFNT member companies and their employees, as the mission of EFNT is to promote good corporate citizenship.

We’ll give it our best shot to finish it all, but if not, our service partners are very appreciative of any work that is done on that day.   We will also have a follow up service day planned,  and will let your Recruitment Captain know if we need volunteers from your company to help.
