Community Appreciation Relations Employee Support

At our core, we are people serving people. We are devoted to bettering the lives of our team members, customers, Shareholders, and communities. Through our employee-led philanthropic YulistaCARES initiatives we encourage others to do the same. Our mission is to help engage Yulista team members with our community through acts of service. Through CARES, our teams rally together to empower others because when one wins, we all win.

WAYS WE SUPPORT

We recognize the impact individual non-profits have on the well-being of our teammates, our families, and our communities. Yulista is committed to making significant contributions to these organizations through volunteer hours, financial contributions, and targeted resources. 

Thank you so much for your amazingly generous donation to our Book Fairy program. Because of your generosity, 33 children were able to shop their local book fairs to grow their home libraries, practice consumer skills, and experience a sense of equity with their peers. The students are so excited to be gifted with Book Fairy magic, and we appreciate your support in treating impoverished children to the memorable extras that make learning fun.
Your partnership this spring has been such a blessing. Thank you for collecting all those stuffed Easter Eggs and for the funds collected in the cafe via your round up program. We are honored to be a CARES partner and look forward to continued opportunities to work together to support families caring for vulnerable children!

With a turnout of approximately 200 attendees and 20 creative trunks, our first-ever #TeamYulista Trunk or Treat Spooktacular was a hit! The creativity of the trunks and costumes was next level. From tiny witches to superheroes, everyone dressed up to add to the festive vibe. The Best Kids` Costume Contest brought out the best of Halloween spirit, and the winners were the adorable Vanellope von Schweetz and her parents from Wreck It Ralph - - we hope you enjoy the golden pumpkin candy bucket! With so many uniquely decorated trunks, we knew the Best Trunk competition would be fierce. Attendees voted for their favorite trunk which resulted in a tie, so both winning trunks took home a $50 Café Us gift card! Congratulations to Duncan Brady with his McColdFront Deli & the MIM Team`s Spooky Trunk, led by Ceceila Rice!

Thank you to our volunteer team of grillers, food preppers, and setup/clean-up crews! A special shout out goes to the #YulistaCARES Officers as they worked incredibly hard to plan this event as a thank you for our Huntsville team members. Thank you for making this Spooktacular event so memorable! 🧡

Trisha Hancock has been a standout at Yulista for nearly five years. Starting as Mike’s Executive Assistant, she quickly advanced to Aviation Office Manager, where she oversees travel, logistics, and purchase orders for six subsidiaries, driving our success.

Her community involvement is equally impressive. She led the #YulistaCARES program for three years, providing support to communities in Huntsville and Alaska. Now, she co-presides over the Young Professional Advisory Council at the @ncac_hsv, which focuses on child abuse prevention. Trisha`s dedication and skills make her an invaluable asset to #TeamYulista.

Over the weekend, #YulistaCARES took a stand against Alzheimer`s at the North Alabama: Walk to End Alzheimer’s event. It was a beautiful day for the community to raise donations and awareness of this growing epidemic that not only impacts those diagnosed but their families and friends as well. Many of our Yulista team members and families are directly impacted by this disease and we want them to know we are in this fight with you.

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.
