With Enterprise Rent-A-Car we continue to be impressed with their
commitment to grow their TP collection with one of a kind
activities! This year their efforts landed them in second place
with 23,700 rolls! Also, we want to give them a round of applause
that they were the top donor from our local companies that
donated this year. United Way staff enjoyed the pre-drive TP
festivities they had this year. They built a fantastic baseball
field out of TP – complete with a taped up TP baseball! They also
had a TP cake contest and BBQ.
We think you are truly spectacular Enterprise Rent-A-Car!
It’s not something that most people talk about. Yet, it’s a
necessity of life – more of a necessity if you have teenagers in
the house. Can’t tell you how many times we’ve looked out the
front window only to find a winter-like scene in the front yard -
the work of high school pranksters. It’s not fun spending the
morning picking it off the wet lawn and out of the tall trees.
And what a waste to find complete rolls left behind!
A heartfelt thank you to all of the fabulous volunteers who
helped out at the LIVE UNITED 2013 Toilet Paper Drive! Countless
TP donors and over 133 volunteers supported the efforts of 148
local nonprofit organizations by wiping out the cost of toilet
paper so those funds can be used on programs and services
instead.
A group of volunteers from Intel stepped up to give back their
time at the Folsom Thrift Store of Snowline Hospice. Volunteers
worked in the donation center, sorting, organizing and pricing
items to be sold in the Thrift Store which supports the operation
of United Way certified partner Snowline
Hospice.
75 volunteers from Liberty Mutual recently worked in two shifts
throughout the day to provide an “Extreme Makeover: YMCA Edition”
as a part of their week long “Serve with Liberty” volunteer
opportunities. The team tackled building garden beds, weeding and
beautifying existing garden and yard areas, painting inside,
various other clean up projects and last but certainly not least,
painting the entire exterior of the Northeastern Branch of
certified United Way partner YMCA of Superior
California.
