There’s only one word to describe this experience:

✨WOW ✨

Last Friday, over 100 employee volunteers from John R McAdams Company gathered at the Raleigh Convention Center to host our largest corporate essential needs kit packing event to date. 2,200 hygiene and toiletry kits—including body wash, shampoo, razors, feminine hygiene products and more—were assembled as part of the McAdams Shares initiative to give make and impact our community. Those 2,000+ kits represented a year’s supply of items that will be distributed to men and women through at .

This event was a wonder to see firsthand, and brought the mission of our work into. UWGT’s core values—Centering Community, Opportunity in Action, Genuine Partnerships, Human Centered, and Bold Possibilities—were on full display through this partnership, and we hope that they continue to shine through the work that we do in, this area, with our partners, and for each and every person in the Greater Triangle.

Thanks to McAdams for letting us be part of a milestone moment and for your commitment for doing good and giving back year after year.
