As shelters and agencies in our area work to keep people safe, there is great need for individual health and wellness supplies. Pack one or more kits of much needed items, and these kits will be donated to the people who need it most across Waterloo Region.
Description
We know you and your workplace are dedicated to giving back to your community in multiple ways. With social distancing measures in effect, this activity allows you to show some local love for community from the comfort of your own home. Visit our up to date lists at the link below to find current supplies needed and choose the kit(s) you would like to pack and donate. This opportunity can also work well with a team. Pack your kits together over Zoom! Once you have completed your kits, contact United Way and we will collect them and send them to our agencies who need them most.
Training Details
An orientation with links to video trainings will be available or along with a lead from the organization who will provide the context for the project. Such as how to do it, why it's needed and who will receive it.
