nonprofit partners who spend thousands of dollars on toilet paper
each year.

United Way California Capital Region and FOX40 News partnered once again for the 3rd annual LIVE UNITED Toilet Paper Drive which benefits many of United Way’s 142 certified nonprofit partners who spend thousands of dollars on toilet paper each year.
The drive was a success! 77,227 rolls of TP were collected, and with the 2:1 Sac-Val Janitorial Supply match of 38,613, we collected 115,840 rolls!
Intel Sac got a headstart on their TP collection since they will
be moving offices in the next couple of weeks. They collected
7,000 rolls last year and had a goal of 8,000 this year. Go Intel
Sac employees!
A special thank you to Enterprise Rent-A-Car for providing
the van to pick up the TP!
The greater Sacramento community rolled out the white carpet for
local nonprofits, donating more than 47,000 rolls of toilet paper
to help more than 100 nonprofits offset costs for this important
staple and allocate more dollars toward programs. The 2nd Annual
LIVE UNITED Toilet Paper Drive sponsored by AT&T raised
12,000 more rolls than last year’s inaugural drive.
It was a site to be seen when more than 200 Allied/Nationwide
employees marched their way up the Cal Expo main entrance
carrying the 3,306 rolls of toilet paper they collected. It was a
perfect display of how they LIVE UNITED. Thank you
Allied/Nationwide!
Impressively The Golden 1 Credit Union donated 15,989 rolls of
toilet paper ranking them the top donor for their second year
running! They played a big roll in the 2nd Annual Toilet Paper
Drive not only with their donation, but by sponsoring the event
and hosting a drop-off location at their Operations Center in
Sacramento. Their generosity and enthusiasm combined with their
interest to make the event a success makes United Way California
Capital Region proud to announce them as the top donor. Thank you
for all your contributions!
As the second largest contributor to the 2nd Annual Toilet Paper
Drive with a grand total of 7,314 rolls donated. United Way
California Capital Region and our 142 nonprofit partners thank
you! As if that grand donation wasn’t enough, last Thursday
employees from Intel Sacramento Site participated in the
distribution day and delivered a truckload of toilet paper to the
Kiwanis Family House and the Children’s Receiving home. Upon
arrival at Kiwani’s House they were greeted warmly and given a
full tour. It was a heartwarming experience for all.
It’s time to acknowledge the top donors that were so generous to
contribute more than 300 rolls of toilet paper! Our two top
donors reached high into the thousands with Golden 1 Credit Union
donating 15,989 rolls and Intel Sacramento Site donating 7,314
rolls! Did you make the list?
Our final collection was 47,440 rolls of toilet paper! All toilet
paper has successfully been distributed to local nonprofits. Many
thanks have been coming in from the recipients and it’s because
of those who played a part and chose to LIVE UNITED. We will
continue to update this article over the next few weeks with more
media and pictures as they come in so don’t forget to take a
look.
LIVE UNITED Street Teams took Roseville and Sacramento by storm
spreading the word about the 2nd Annual Toilet Paper Drive. Loads
of volunteers participated by holding signs on street corners,
handing out fliers to passerby’s and waving toilet paper in the
air. FOX40 News and KCRA 3 brought crews out to the farmers
market in Sacramento yesterday and caught us in action. Thank you
to each volunteer to who took time out of their day to LIVE
UNITED! We’re on a ROLL and we’re not slowing down until next
Friday, June 18! Drop off your toilet paper donation 6:30
a.m.- 6:30 p.m.
Community Impact Councils are teams of volunteers who identify
tough issues and develop collaborative projects to achieve
specific outcomes. The funding for these projects comes from
donors who entrust their gifts to United Way. We have three
Community Impact Councils that focus on Education,
Health, and Income.
