YulistaCARES employee-led nonprofit and community outreach

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. That is our purpose and through our 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!

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

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 ...

Can I brag about yulistaholdingllc for a moment?

Not only did they sponsor 19 families this year and purchase every single item that was requested, they bought extra. Enough to sponsor ANOTHER 6 KIDS! But it didn’t stop there. They raised over $1300. That allowed us to not only sponsor 3 extra kids. But allow us to make sure that Family A (Yulista Employee Family) was completely outfitted for Christmas in their new home. I can’t thank everyone enough for helping making this year’s #yulistaCARES Christmas Toy Drive such an incredible success. This is by far our biggest Christmas drop we’ve done. So proud to be a part of the Yulista Family! #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

Yesterday, I received the sweetest package for some the kids we traveled to Alaska to donate school supplies to as part of YulistaCARES Annual Backpack Campaign. It was an entire box of handwritten Thank You Notes from one of the village schools we visited. All the letters were from kiddos of all ages and full of colorful drawings and lovely little notes. Blessing my heart big this morning… #yulistaCARES #giveback #support #alaska #nonprofit #donate ...

This photo is important & means a lot.

Because this photo shows a roomful of men and women who help run and lead all of the different nonprofits in the Greater Huntsville Area & other cities around the country. Their soul purpose to leave this city better than they found it & I couldn’t be more proud to be here with them at cfhuntsville Navigate Conference… #giveback #yulistacares #navigatehsv
