It’s the season of giving, and Mosaic employees are doing just that on Tuesday, Dec. 5. The third and final Mosaic Cares Day of 2023 is focused on giving back to local communities. Mosaic employees will volunteer across North America at partner organizations focused on education, services to the elderly, food donation and more.

“We know giving back at a local level can often have the biggest impact,” said Chris Johnson, Sr. Social Responsibility Specialist. “This is a time of year where so many people need our help. We’re grateful to so many of our employees for giving their time and talents to these organizations.”
