Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has inspired generations through his influential role in the civil rights movement, call to action for community service, and inspirational words. Today, we encourage you to ask yourself, “What am I doing for others?” not just today, but every day. We'd love to hear about the ways you choose to give your time and energy to your community.

“Do your little bits of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” -Archbishop Desmond Tutu
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 ...
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 ...
Day 3 - Yesterday, we started our 48 hour trek to the villages. First step, traveling to Bethel to meet up with the rest of the Team that will be joining us on our flight to the Northern Villages, Chevak & Hooper Bay.
Bethel is a connection point for a lot of the smaller villages to acquire food and other supplies not necessarily accessible to them locally. People take small planes or charters to get supplies. While, we all feel like the price of food and household items might have increased back home, this is a stark comparison - $41 for Paper Towels, $17 for Mandarin Oranges, and $11 for Color Pencils.
While Bethel is located on the Kuskoquim River, much of the land is Tundra. If you’ve never walked on Tundra before, it’s squishy. Think of walking on Marshmallows or a Water Bed. This is wonderful place to go Berry picking.
In a few hours, we’ll board our little plane to get ready for our journey to Chevak and Hooper Bay to begin the reason for our trip, delivering school supplies and hats to roughly 900 kids. #backpackcampaign22 #travel #explore #alaska #giveback #volunteer #yulistaCares #adventure #gooutside ...

It’s the season of giving and #TeamYulista’s generosity never ceases to amaze us. As part of our annual #YulistaCARES Holiday Toy Drive, Team Yulista donated and delivered clothes, monetary donations, and gifts to families in need over at National Children Advocacy Center and Department of Human Resources of Huntsville. This year we were able to sponsor 6 families through NCAC and 29 children through DHR, and 3 veterans through VFW to help make their holiday special and a little less stressful. Thank you to all our team members and Yulista families who contributed to our Holiday Toy Drive and other campaigns throughout 2022. Your kindness touches the lives of so many. #WeAreYulista #Community ...
This is one of my favorite photos from yesterday. Silly faces and big smiles.
8 employees from yulistaholdingllc and calistacorp traveled to Hooper Bay and Chevak to pass out school supplies and love on almost 900 amazing kiddos in the villages.
There will be more from the trip coming soon, but I can’t begin to explain how full my heart is. The #yulistacares 2022 Backpack Campaign has been a huge success! Thankful for all who helped to knock it out of the park… #giveback #travel #adventure #explore #outreach #hooperbay #chevak #alaska ...
Day 4 in Alaska - This day was big. 9 people traveled on a little puddle jumper from Bethel to Hooper Bay and Chevak to visit almost 900 students. At Hooper Bay, we met with roughly 475 students from K-12. We spent over 4.5 hours chatting to kids about resources and opportunities to help make their dreams come true.
Then we travels to Chevak. Due to weather and extra time spent at Hooper Bay, we had to change our strategy for Chevak. We landed 30 mins before school got out and had to pass out the supplies as the students were leaving. While the circumstances were out of our control, it was great to see some smiling faces and get big hugs.
Something that is common between these two villages, education is the center focus. Driving through the street is a stark contrast to the bright colors and constant positivity that floods the hallways of the schools. Teachers are invested in their students and staff work hard to use their resources to help paint bright futures for these kids.
We returned back to Bethel to catch our flight back to Anchorage where we are wrapping up our trip. Thank you to everyone who donated their time, money and voice to help make this Backpack Campaign a huge success. #yulistaCARES #giveback #outreach #alaska #travel #explore #gooutside #volunteer #nonprofit ...
Yulista is a forever company. We are connected to our past and committed to a future of enduring prosperity and inspiration for our Alaskan Native Shareholders. We draw inspiration from our Alaskan roots every day.
To celebrate #AlaskaDay, we are excited to share a special video recapping our recent #YulistaCARES trip to Alaska. With the help of our parent company, Calista Corporation, #TeamYulista, and our local communities, we were able to hand deliver 900 backpacks and beanies to students in the rural villages of Hooper Bay & Chevak. Our delivery team got to experience the beautiful tundra and meet the families, students, and teachers of our larger Shareholder family.
Alaska holds a special place in our heart and its beauty shines through its landscape, culture, but most importantly its people. A link to the full video is in our bio.

Something that has been on my heart over the past few years is getting more invested in my community and creating opportunities to give back. Last year, I accepted a position on the Board of my company’s Non-Profit program, Yulista CARES. Today, I accepted the position of Chairman of the Board. I can’t fully express how excited I am to really pour my heart into my city and continue to provide a helping hand. We have so many incredible organizations that provide essential services and aid to those who are struggling ranging over a multitude of issues. Huntsville is such a dynamic place and if the past year has taught us anything, we all could use a helping hand. #yulistacares ...
We hope you and your families have a wonderful Fourth of July. #teamyulista #greatplacetowork #yulistacares ...

#yulistaCARES had a busy August!
First, we had the Alaska trip to deliver almost 400 backpack full of school supplies to students. As well as fully supply 24 teachers and staff with a year’s worth of supplies.
Second, we started our local school supply drop-offs with various nonprofit and community programs. We also prepped roughly 500 backpacks to go to New Jersey, Hawaii, Texas and New Mexico.
Third, we launched our Employee Wellness Program. We partnered with heartalabama to host a series of weekly Lunch & Learns. Topics included Hands Only CPR, Building a Healthy Lifestyle and Mental Health in the Workplace. We also offered a Heart Healthy lunch option in our cafeteria with recipes from AHA.
Fourth, we volunteered with drmhuntsville for their annual Glow Run. Volunteers helped participants with parking and packets.
I am so proud of our members and the amazing yulistaholdingllc CARES Board I get to work with. We all have a big heart for giving back & we have so much in store for the future! #yulistacares #giveback ...
