Time To Care

Living, working and giving back to the
communities we serve.

Time Warner Cable gives back to the communities we serve by supporting organizations and programs that focus on literacy, the arts, children, education and diversity.  We are actively involved in the community in a variety of ways that are important to our customers.  For us, it’s time well spent.

Our community outreach includes employee volunteers, contributions and in-kind donations including public service announcements (PSAs) on cable networks.  Additionally, we provide a free cable/Internet connection and commercial-free educational programming to more than 950 schools in our service area through Cable in the Classroom.
