Earlier this month, the Epsten Gallery at Village Shalom hosted the opening night of “The Bloch Family: A Visual Legacy” exhibition, celebrating H&R Block's 70th anniversary and its commitment to the Kansas City community. In attendance were Jeff Jones, President and CEO, Dara Redler, Chief Legal Officer, Tiffany Mason, CPA, Chief Financial Officer, members of the Bloch family, H&R Block Foundation representatives, Village Shalom residents, art community members, and H&R Block associates. The exhibition features 17 pieces from H&R Block's art collection, showcasing themes of home, the Midwest, and the Bloch family’s ties to the region, focusing on Kansas City artists: Jason Pollan, Adolfo Gustavo Martinez, Tom Gragg, and Matt Kube. Personal artifacts from the Bloch family's history are also on display. The Bloch legacy is deeply embedded in the heart and core of H&R Block, a company that has now been going strong for 70 years. Through our community impact platform, Make Every Block Better, we continue to demonstrate our Purpose in the communities where we live and serve. The exhibition is open through March 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit the Epsten Gallery's website. Events: https://lnkd.in/gBpj7KfS

Five years ago, H&R Block founded Make Every Block Better, which serves as our commitment to bringing communities together and giving back. During our Town Hall on Wednesday, we reflected on the last five years and used it as an opportunity to live out our Purpose in the community. At our annual giveback event, H&R Block associates participated in the largest on-site volunteer activity that Harvesters—The Community Food Network has ever done with another organization. Here are the details: 🤝 More than 800 H&R Block associates participated in the hour-long event. 📦 2,200 meal kits were assembled to combat food insecurity during the holiday season. 👨👩👦👦 Each meal kit feeds a family of four, which means 8,800 people will enjoy a meal during the holidays. Harvesters is an integral part of the Kansas City community, providing food and household items to more than 900 nonprofit agencies, including emergency food pantries, community kitchens, homeless shelters, and children’s homes For our virtual associates, we initiated a card-writing campaign for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. If you wish to send a card as well, you can visit this link: https://hrblock.io/StJude During this busy holiday season, we’re so thankful for our associates who are dedicated to Making Every Block Better!
At H&R Block, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back and Making Every Block Better. Throughout this week at hashtag#FrontlineForum2024, we had the opportunity to bring together a thousand franchisees and company field leaders for multiple giveback opportunities. Both groups rolled up their sleeves and worked for multiple deserving organizations. Their efforts supported a book and literacy drive for Lead to Read, letters for Heartland Honor Flights, hygiene and flyaway kits for Soldiers' Angels, and Interview Kits for Connections to Success. Meanwhile, the Elevate Belonging@Block group hosted the hashtag#SneakerBall on Wednesday night, which was a fun and inspiring evening dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Gift of Sole, a local organization providing local kids and families in need with new sneakers. Thank you to Kevin Holmes, news anchor for KSHB / KMCI / The EW Scripps Company, who helped kickoff the event and discussed his personal connection to the cause. We are proud to be part of such impactful events and to contribute to the well-being of our community. #Giveback #BlockPride #HRBlock #MakeEveryBlockBetter! 💚 Learn more about our belonging groups here: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/belonging-block/
