We recently welcomed the team from Zenith for a meaningful Day of Service at The Help Group. Their visit was a thoughtful and engaging contribution to our community, and we truly appreciate the time and care they gave throughout the morning.

The day began with a delicious breakfast in our multi-purpose room, offering our guests an opportunity for relaxed socializing with Help Group staff and students in our Vocational Training Program.

The focus of the morning was assisting with daily operations at our Silverlining Resale Boutique—a vibrant social enterprise that has been part of The Help Group for over a decade. Now located on our Sherman Oaks campus, Silverlining provides students with hands-on vocational training and real-world experience in retail operations, including donation processing, inventory management, merchandising, marketing, and customer service.

During their Day of Service, the Zenith volunteers worked side by side with students, supporting key aspects of store operations. Together, they inspected donated items for quality, sorted clothing by category, and prepared merchandise for display through careful folding and organizing. Volunteers also helped arrange items on racks to create a welcoming, shopper-friendly environment. This immersive activity not only supported the boutique’s daily function but also gave students meaningful opportunities to practice teamwork, communication, and workplace readiness.

“This is one of the many initiatives at The Help Group that seeks to broaden the range of opportunities for young people with special needs,” said Dr. Susan Berman, President and CEO of The Help Group. “This venture has the added beauty of benefiting the students, those who donate to the store, and our community—a silver lining for all.”

The Zenith team’s presence truly reflected the spirit of service and collaboration. Their genuine interest and hands-on support left a positive and lasting impression on both our students and staff.

The Zenith team has been a valued partner of The Help Group for nearly 50 years. As a leading provider of workers’ compensation insurance and a company committed to safety and well-being in the workplace, the Zenith has demonstrated a long-standing dedication to our mission. Their ongoing support reflects a shared belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive and build a brighter future.

To the entire Zenith team: thank you for your generosity, your partnership, and your continued commitment to making a difference.
