Iowa employees assemble kits for kids in need

Employees from the Council Bluffs, Iowa, facility volunteered their personal energy at the United Way of the Midland’s Shine Bright event recently, helping to assemble bags filled with essential hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, clean clothes and dental products. These bags are given to local students with the greatest need and will impact their health, academics and confidence.

Shine Bright is a part of United Way’s Good on the Go – Care Kits for Kids, a fundraiser done in partnership with Omaha and Council Bluffs public schools. The project helps kindergarten, middle and high school students who are lacking essential hygiene items regain their confidence and shine bright, achieving more in school and beyond.

A Shine Bright bag contains all the items kids need to feel good and succeed in the classroom and in life!

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Follow us on FacebookInstagram, LinkedInTwitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
