Feel Good Friday! Earlier this summer, the 3 UBS branches in Connecticut joined forces with Operation Hope for UBS’ Season of Service event. In this annual community service campaign, UBS mobilizes employees across the Americas to create local impact in their communities through hands-on and skills-based volunteering.
Operation Hope was fortunate to be the recipient of hands-on help and donations from these 3 branches. The branches donated items and put together snack bags and toiletry kits for us to distribute our on outreach rounds and in our Community Kitchen and Pantry. The snack bags were chock full of healthy, protein rich items and handy essentials, including tuna salad kits, fruit cups, granola bars, mixed nuts, water/juice, utensil packs, napkins, tissues, chapstick and hand sanitizers. The toiletry kits were full of travel sized items including shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, shaving cream, razor, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste. Thanks so much to the 3 UBS Connecticut offices for collaborating on this important project and for the generosity. These types of “grab and go” bags are so helpful for our neighbors in need and we are grateful for the help.
If your company (big or small!) is interested in doing some outreach, such as these toiletry kits and snack bags or preparing meals, for Operation Hope, please send us an email here.
