At Birchwood, supporting our community is more than a value—it’s a responsibility. From local partnerships to grassroots initiatives, we’re proud to give back where we live and work.

Our values of personal leadership, trust & respect, continuous improvement, and generosity begin with gratitude, and with gratitude comes responsibility to give back.
Birchwood Community Support is our way of being involved by providing financial, in-kind, and volunteer support to various organizations, educational and social programs, groups, and individuals.
