My company was able to be a part of a recent toy sorting event hosted by a partnership between The Salvation Army and United Way. This was a great event and it was well organized and well thought out.
After a brief introduction from both charities and a little history of what their missions entail and what their goals are for the future, we were able to get out onto the main shipping floor and get to work. This event was to help to take Angel Tree cards and sort through toy bins in order to fulfill the gift "wishes" of the child on each card. Two toys were bagged for each child and placed into appropriate bins in order to ensure that they are delivered on time.
This event was a lot of fun and would be a great work / church / group event for those looking to give back during the holidays. They also have United Way food sorting events hosted at some of their locations from month-to-month for those looking to volunteer throughout the year.
Overall: A+
Great charities joining together for a great cause. It was fun, interactive and informative.
