YulistaCARES

Community Appreciation Relations Employee Support

Through our employee-led philanthropic YulistaCARES program we encourage others to give back and make a positive impact on causes close to our hearts. Our mission is to help engage team members with our communities through acts of service 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.

Kate O'Neal President, The Caring Link

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!

Kimberly DuVall Founder, North Alabama Foster Closet

Since 2014, Yulista has provided school supplies and backpacks to the Calista Region in Alaska and to Madison County here in Alabama. Our goal this year was to provide 1000 backpacks; we met our goal of donating 500 to Alaska and 500 to schools and agencies in Madison County. One of those local agencies was the National Children’s Advocacy Center. We were excited to deliver the backpacks and hope that this small donation will make a difference for the children in our communities. ⠀

#TeamYulista We are right in the middle of our annual Backpack Campaign and we still have a long way to go! Backpack supply kits are only $10 each, and by purchasing even just one kit, you're helping us reach our goal of 1200 kits! These kits are going to 3 schools in the Lower Kuskokwim school district in Alaska as well as to schools in Hawaii, New Jersey, Texas, and Alabama.

And if you're saying to yourself "I'll do it later," please keep in mind that our campaign ends at the end of June because of tight shipping deadlines this year. In other words, check that box now instead of later. 😀 The link to purchase kits is in our bio.

If you are not part of Team Yulista but would like to contribute, we welcome and appreciate your generosity! #YulistaCares

We did it! #YulistaCARES received well over 1200 school supply kit donations during the month of June... which means not only did we meet our goal, but we crushed it! We'll fill up our Yulista backpacks with the supplies and deliver them to schools in Alaska, Texas, New Jersey, Hawaii and Alabama! And we couldn't have met our tight deadline without the support of #TeamYulista and all of YOU! Thank you so much! #WeAreYulista

Today we celebrate the progress made in women's rights, the work that still needs to be done, and the importance of a society where gender equality is fully realized. When one wins, we all win.

Also, this group is traveling today to deliver the last of the backpacks to 7 schools in Alaskan villages. Let's wish them safe travels! Follow along with Yulista's IG stories as Marketing Specialist Crystal Bailey shares some behind-the-scenes moments this coming week.

#YulistaCARES has teamed up with the @American_Heart, @HeartAlabama, and @copt for #HeartMonth. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. But through our Yulista Wellness Program, we're providing a wide range of awareness events and heart healthy resources!

Note... While these things are mostly for #TeamYulista, our lunch & learn series and weekly cafe specials are open to the public at our headquarters in @RedstoneGateway. If you're interested in attending, reach out and we'll pass along the details!

And even though we're a few months away from Huntsville's Heart Walk, we'd love to get your support. Visit this link to join our team or make a donation. https://bit.ly/3ouMtCw
