Depend® (a brand of Kimberly-Clark) and United Way are partnering to promote healthy, active and independent living throughout an individual’s life, with a focus on volunteering. As a result, United Ways in nine U.S. cities and in Ontario, Canada are expanding their volunteer activities and outreach.
United Ways tailored their activities to meet local needs and focus on activities that benefited the health of the volunteer, as well as the health of those they served. Projects included volunteers of all ages, and ranged from creating literacy kits for families with young children to improving a community garden, making over the exercise rooms of a youth-serving community center, a “speed volunteering” event at the Mall of America and more.
