“I grew up in a community that encouraged donating both time and resources. Volunteerism was essential to our growth and upbringing.
Despite numerous commitments and responsibilities today, I continue to volunteer my time to several organizations in varying capacities. In addition, I financially support several causes that I believe in and am passionate about, including food security, youth development, literacy, and health research. I am also passionate about supporting the causes that concern those I care about. I find an immense amount of personal fulfillment in this.
I want to encapsulate and scale this at the corporate level. Our work at PGLS helps individuals with limited English proficiency receive equitable access to critical services. PGLS Cares is a vehicle to build upon and expand beyond that to make an even more significant difference and impact in our communities and the causes we care about.”
Mohamed Hussein, PGLS Founder & CEO
