YulistaCARES Annual
Backpack Campaign
APRIL 1 - May 30, 2025
Our annual backpack campaign is just one way team Yulista gets involved. Our employee-led CARES initiative donates backpacks with school supplies to students around the world! We aim to make a difference in a child’s education and life. In 2025, we aim to raise and deliver 1,700 backpacks and school supplies in 9 states.
Once we hit our goal of 1,700 backpacks, every dollar raised will go directly to supporting the relocation of the Alaska Native village of Mertarvik, a community in dire need of assistance due to rising sea levels and coastal erosion.

Several local school districts have welcomed students back into the classroom this week—and thanks to the incredible team at #YulistaCARES, our kiddos will be going back with the tools they need to be successful this year!
We sincerely appreciate their continued commitment to supporting the children of our community! 💙
Employees from yulistaholdingllc, Calista Corporation’s largest government contracting holding line, donated over 500 backpacks and school supplies to the #YKdelta this fall through the annual Yulista CARES Backpack Campaign.
Backpacks and school supplies were donated to five schools in the communities of Kasigluk, Atmautluak, Napakiak and Oscarville.
Now celebrating its 10th year, Yulista CARES has delivered approximately 6,000 backpacks to 31 Y-K communities. In the past three years alone, Yulista CARES donated 1,800 backpacks filled with school supplies to students in eleven Y-K communities.

Holiday Cheer Alert! The Yulista Jacksonville team collected 30 bikes to give back to the local community. Of these, 25 bikes were donated to Toys for Tots, making them the first bikes received during this year’s drive, while 5 bikes went to a NW Jacksonville community toy drive supporting underserved neighborhoods. Thank you, Jacksonville team, for giving back and uplifting your local community. #YulistaCARES
I think we all have little dreams. Goals that we keep to ourselves that maybe we put on the back burner because we don’t think opportunities will ever come knocking.
My whole life, I’ve loved giving back and helping others. My heart had always had this little dream of finding ways to make a bigger impact. But sometimes it feels impossible to even know where to start.
So when the opportunity to head an outreach program at government contracting company came around, it seemed like this little gift. The building blocks to start to build an impact.
Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to witness people come together and make such a dynamic impact through a wide array of initiatives and programs that have the ability to make such an impact to people from all walks of lives. We’ve raised funds, created collection drives, organized free resources to people to have the tools and building blocks to live a full life.
Back in college, I discovered my Role Model, MM. Friends always joke or roll their eyes when I say she’s my role mode, but this gal has made an impact on my life in the best way. She inspired me to believe in myself, give more than you take and live life fully by living it with authenticity and inspiration. I feel like that part of myself has come alive again.
Yesterday, I arrived in Alaska where are going to travel to local villages to meet with kids who don’t have the tools they need to thrive. This has helped me realize that those little dreams we have in our hearts, might not make sense to others and they might seem unobtainable, but keep believing. Trust that even when the smallest opportunity comes along, you will be able to turn into something amazing. Not for yourself, but for those who need a helping hand. Thanks for the inspiration, Meg. ❤️#believeinyourself #thetig #meghanmarkle #inspiration #dream #believe #rolemodel #sussexsquad #compassioninaction #giveback #yulistacares

#YulistaCARES showed up and glowed up for the @DRMHuntsville Glow Run 5k on March 2nd! Our Glow Run team was one of the largest at the event, over 25 strong full of CARES members and their families. In addition to being a Glow Runner event sponsor, the CARES team also raised $125. Some walked, some ran, but overall it was a fun night or everyone to come together to support the Downtown Rescue Mission goal to help those in need overcome hunger, homelessness, addiction, and abuse.

#YulistaCARES Jacksonville, FL team members volunteered at the @feedingnefl organization, supporting their mission to solve hunger in Northeast Florida. The team sorted and inspected 3,821lbs of donated food, which will provide 3,184 meals for our neighbors in need. Additionally, the team packaged 107 boxes in support of 214 Door Dash meals. We love seeing our YulistaCARES program grow within our communities. #TeamYulista #YulistaTechServices
Feel Good Friday! #YulistaCARES collected 127 tubes of toothpaste and 89 sticks of deodorant for @TheCaringLink`s school care closets, helping kids feel fresh and ready to learn! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this drive. While these donations may seem like a small gesture, they have a huge impact on the lives of our local students. We appreciate your support!

Today, we got to deliver all the clothes, monetary donations, and toys that we raised at yulistaholdingllc in support of ncac_hsv and DHR of Huntsville as part of our #yulistaCARES Holiday Gift and Toy Drive.
There will be more official posts through Social Media in the coming days, but I wanted to say how much this really blessed my heart today. I think the reality is that this time of year is hard for a lot of people. I haven’t had an ounce of Holiday Spirit this year, but knowing that we can make a dynamic impact in the individual lives of strangers who we may never meet, that is powerful. 6 family, 39 kiddos, and 3 Veterans are going to be able to have a little bit of stress taken off their shoulders & smiles on their faces because of the generosity that the employees at Yulista have shown.
That’s powerful. Just know every little bit helps. And it might make an impact on someone you didn’t expect:
Life can be incredibly challenging this time a year for so many. But let me tell you from first hand experience, trying to bring a little joy into someone else’s life, will certainly bring a little bit of sunshine back into yours. #yulistacares #giveback
We are committed to serving our neighbors, partners, and Alaska Shareholders. This month, five of our team members traveled to Kasigluk, Atmautluak, Oscarville, and Napakiak in the Lower Kuskokwim area, hand-delivering backpacks to five schools in the district. Many of these villages face challenges in accessing the tools needed for their education. Together, we`re making a difference—one backpack at a time! #YCBC24 #TeamYulista #YulistaCARES #ANC
In a wonderful display of teamwork, team members from Lexington, KY, and Huntsville, Alabama, joined forces to donate 8,860 candy-filled plastic Easter eggs to local foster organizations. Most donated eggs already filled with candy, but some team members even coordinated stuffing parties to do it together! These eggs were graciously donated to support two significant organizations: @bairfoundation in Lexington and the North Alabama Foster Closet in Huntsville. We hope this donation drive provided immense joy to foster children and families and added festive cheer to Easter celebrations in these communities. #YulistaCARES #fosteringconnections
