Questions About Retirement and Benefits?

From time to time, CCA receives inquiries about health care, benefits, retirement, etc. While we are not able to answer those questions, we certainly want you to get answers. In all cases, we recommend that you contact Cargill directly, so you can get the straight answers from them.

 President’s Corner - Phil Deeney



Our CCA Project Leads are the backbone of our volunteer efforts. They lay the foundation for all our community projects. These individuals identify community needs, plan how to meet those needs and bring together our CCA volunteer members to have the greatest impact.

Many of our projects revolve around feeding and housing others -- addressing critical issues like poverty and homelessness. Our Project Leads coordinate with other CCA members to ensure things run smoothly in tackling these critical issues. By working closely with our selected nonprofits, they make sure our efforts have the biggest impact possible.  

Their dedication inspires others to join in and make a difference. They also keep an eye on how things are going, adjusting as needed to improve our efforts. The result is lasting change in our communities.

Volunteering is our Superpower.

Introducing the Updated CCA website!

Over the last few months, we have been making some updates to the CCA website. Our biggest changes are the new menu options and re-worked Volunteer pages.  
 
Our goal is to provide an intuitive site that enables users to easily find the information they need about CCA activities. Please provide us with your feedback. What works and what does not? What can you not find but wish was out there?
 
We cannot promise all input will make it into site changes, but the more feedback we receive the better the site will become.  Send your ideas cargillcaresalumni11@gmail.com
