From past interview experience, I'm always asked what can you tell us about the company? or a similar question.
To prepare for it I usually browse the about us page on the company website, but I noticed that several of these companies have blogs that they use to keep clients up to date with events or share an interesting idea.
If you find a post relatable, for example, one of the companies I'm currently researching does community outreach, I have past experience with this when I volunteered, so would it be okay to bring this up during the interview?

Yes, in college I took a class that helped us prepare for interviews and it was encouraged to research the company. It shows them your interest in the company and they'll be glad to hear you can relate to them.
