Xerox Office Makeover Transforms Four Nonprofits Nationwide Into High-Tech Offices

After bringing color to the walls and to the documents at four nonprofit offices across the country, Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) has wrapped up its “Helping Hands” Office Makeover Contest. The winning offices, ranging from a group that teaches students computer skills to a chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, are already seeing results from their design and technology refresh. Xerox searched for the nonprofit offices with the most outdated design and technology in key cities across the country. Winners in Charlotte, N.C.; Denver; Indianapolis; and Rochester, N.Y., received décor upgrades, furniture, document technology and assessment services aimed at making the organizations more efficient.

“The makeover has not only made our office beautiful and functional but it has also made us more productive,” said Jess George, associate director of the Latin American Coalition, which lends a helping hand to nearly 1,000 people a month in Charlotte. “Our environment is now more welcoming for clients and staff. And Xerox printers, multifunction systems and services have streamlined our work processes and brought vibrant color to previously dull-looking fliers and brochures.”

This year’s winners serve a variety of causes. The Latin American Coalition is Charlotte’s oldest and largest Hispanic service agency. In Denver, OpenWorld Learning teaches nearly 600 elementary students a year advanced computer skills such as computer animation, multimedia presentation and computer programming. The Indiana Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, located in Indianapolis, assists some 800 people annually who are living with the genetic disease. And in Rochester, N.Y., the Hickok Center for Brain Injury Inc. helps nearly 100 people a month develop the skills needed to live and work again following an accident, stroke or disease.
