Community Outreach
We have a wonderful team of people who are not only excellent tax and business professionals, but are also caring individuals beyond the numbers. Therefore, WCG is leveraging the heck out of our team… our beautiful office space… and our location within Colorado Springs.
Vitalant Blood Drive – September 4th, 2024
WCG teamed up with Vitalant again to host a blood drive on September 4th, from 10:30am to 2:30pm at our Flying Horse office. (Get Directions!)
Spread the word and invite friends, neighbors, coworkers and family to help us fill all the time slots available to give!
Every day, patients in hospitals, surgical centers and emergency treatment facilities need approximately:
- 30,000 Units of Red Blood Cells
- 6,000 Units of Platelets
- 6,000 Units of Plasma
Have hesitations or worried you could be excluded from giving? Watch the video to the right and visit the Vitalant website to find out just how easy it is. Many myths you’ve heard about giving blood are easily busted. Got tattoos? No problem! Traveled recently? You may still be eligible to give! It typically takes less than 1 hour to give, so don’t let time constraints keep you away! You’ll transform your own life and the lives of up to THREE others!

Pop Tabs for Charity
With a nearly endless supply of soda (thanks Jason), WCG has enough pop tabs alone to help give back to the community!
We collect pop tabs as a firm and donate these to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado every time we fill a (large!) container. According to their website, “These small metal pieces are a source of charitable revenue for us. The amount of money we receive from the tabs comes from the weight of the aluminum collected.” They then use the money raised for operations and supplies.
Want to help us? Bring your own soda/pop/seltzer/beer can tabs to our office and we’ll collect and donate them for you!
Our most recent donation in July 2024 was 5.6lbs!
Care and Share
Care and Share is a local food bank located in Colorado Springs and Pueblo. According to their website, “Care and Share exists to ensure that the one in eight Southern Coloradans at risk of hunger have access to enough healthy and nutritious food to thrive. We know that children without adequate access to food cannot develop successfully, families cannot plan for their future, and seniors find it more difficult to remain independent.”
Therefore, WCG has become a Care and Share drop off location at 2393 Flying Horse Club Drive in Colorado Springs on the southwest corner of Flying Horse Club Drive and Highway 83.
United States Flag
WCG proudly flies the United States flag at our Colorado Springs office. We also take flying our flag at half-mast seriously, and only do so when Ordered by the President or for certain events. It certainly gives our employees a reason to pause and reflect. Did you know how few days there are where a flag is flown half-mast? According to Gettyburg Flag Works,
- Peace Officers Memorial Day, May 15th, unless that day is also Armed Forces Day. (sunrise to sunset)
- Memorial Day, last Monday in May (sunrise to noon)
- (sunrise to sunset)
- National Firefighters Memorial Day, October (typically a Sunday during Fire Prevention Week and along with a memorial service held in Emmitsburg, MD)
- Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, December 7th (sunrise to sunset)
WCG is a full service consultation and tax preparation firm, and we look forward to working more with our community to make peoples’ lives a bit easier.
