Since day one, our top priority has been to help build the lives of hard-working people. While many things have changed during these times, our mission hasn’t. The COVID-19 crisis gave us a chance to put our defining values into action. Over the past few months, we’ve gone into overdrive preparing ways to help the community get through these trying times.

When everything else seems chaotic, it feels great to hear exciting news! For our Added Advantage members, the Summer Giveaway has been a bright spot in their month. We host our Added Advantage giveaways bi-annually to show our hard-working members how much their support means to us. But this year, with everything that has been going on, we’ve been even more excited to be able to help our members and give out these prizes.

We are teaming up with Think Together’s Shalimar Learning Center to help them raise funds for families who have lost their income during the coronavirus crisis. From June 8th through June 30th we will be collecting non-perishable food and goods like household paper goods, diapers and formula. The items will be donated to families with students enrolled in the organization’s afterschool programs.

We’ve all been through a challenging couple of months. But together, we’ve pulled through and are preparing to come out stronger than ever. As we look back on what has happened, we wanted to share some of the things that we’ve been doing throughout the crisis to ensure our members, team members, and communities are able to make it through the pandemic.
