Joyner believes that business, done right, serves the greater good. Our corporate citizenship commitment goes far beyond compliance — it is baked into who we are, how we operate, and how we give back.
Why Corporate Citizenship Matters at Joyner
From the moment Lonnell Joyner used his personal minivan to drive neighbors to doctor appointments, Joyner has been a community-first organization. That mission has never changed. Today, with more than 7,500 customers served each week across 15+ products, our responsibility to our communities, our workforce, our environment, and our ethical standards is greater than ever — and we take it seriously.
Corporate citizenship at Joyner is not a PR strategy. It is a lived commitment — reflected in our MyCommunity initiative, our environmental stewardship efforts, our workforce protections, and our unwavering ethics standards.

MyCommunity — Community Giving & Volunteering
Our Three Pillars of Giving
MyCommunity launched in 2021 with a commitment to give back in three key ways — and that commitment still guides everything we do.
Non-Profit & Charity Sponsorship — Financial contributions and grants supporting nonprofit organizations and charitable causes that align with Joyner's values.
Community Volunteering — Joyner team members show up in person, donating time and hands-on effort to the neighborhoods and causes we care about.
Blessing Boxes & Food Drives — Direct, tangible support for individuals and families facing food insecurity in the communities Joyner serves.
Every full-time Joyner associate receives 16 hours of paid Volunteer Time Off each calendar year to volunteer with the nonprofit organization of their choosing. VTO is Joyner's way of investing in the communities our team members care about.
VTO must be requested through WFM in advance and approved by your direct manager
Associates may use VTO hours in increments — they do not need to be taken all at once
VTO is available to all full-time associates after 90 days of employment
Qualifying organizations must be registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits
We encourage you to wear Joyner gear and take photos — tag Joyner on social media and send photos to mrkg@myjoyner.com so we can celebrate your impact
Request VTO
Submit your volunteer time off request through the WFM system the same way you submit PTO. Select "Volunteer Time Off" as the leave type.
Joyner matches personal charitable contributions by eligible associates to approved nonprofit organizations. Submit a matching gift request to HR with your donation receipt.
