TEAM-BUILDING VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR WORKPLACE

United Way of Portage County provides team-building volunteer experience for your workplace. We work with local, non-profit agencies to address their current, critical needs by creating tailored “kit-packing” projects. Companies can sponsor a kit-packing project by purchasing needed supplies and having employees pack the supplies into individual kits for distribution.

 

SPONSOR A KIT PACKING

United Way offers customizable kit-packing opportunities based on your workplace’s capacity. Kit packing can take place onsite or in United Way’s Community Room. We provide education and guidance throughout the project.
