EVENT DETAILS

IMPACT

We're preparing over 300 disaster relief kits for Americares

About the cause: WeHero in partnership with Americares is working with companies to mobilize employees as first responders to international crises and natural disasters around the world.

About the event: We ship the entire volunteer experience to your home along with educational materials, packaging, prepaid shipping labels, and supplies. Your team will participate in first aid and hygiene kit assembly. These kits include items that most of us take for granted including bandages, trauma pads, Q-tips, and more with supplies specifically sourced for the disaster in response. The event will kick off with a keynote from WeHero offering context for where these kits are going and why this work is so important.

CARE FOR OUR PLANET

Be a Waste Warrior

We build our volunteer events to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Whether it is offsetting the carbon emissions of the shipping process, using recycled cardboard for the boxes, or relying on algae-based dyes, we’ve made conscious steps to ensure we’re doing right for our world.

However, it’s impossible for us to completely eliminate waste products from the experience. To ensure we limit the impact of these materials, we ask that all participants properly recycle and dispose of the materials they receive.

Recycling is hard so we made this resource list to make it easier!
