Neways Employees Help Each Other with Sharing Event

SPRINGVILLE, UT (Sept. 2, 2009)—Neways’ Utah employees recently joined forces to help each other prepare for the new school year by gathering and redistributing school clothes and supplies during a sharing event. Not only did employees save money on school preparations, but they also helped the environment by putting used items back into circulation instead of discarding them.

During the week leading up to the sharing event, employees donated more than 30 bags of used clothing. In addition, Neways donated 600 backpacks loaded with school supplies, and employees donated brand-new items such as fleece jackets, hoodies, and school supplies.  
 
At the sharing event, employees and their children picked out school clothes, and each employee received two Neways backpacks filled with office supplies. In addition, volunteers provided lunch bags, totes, TrueTouch® makeup, treats, and healthy lunch ideas.
 
After the employee-sharing event, Neways donated backpacks to two groups of Somalian refugee children and gave the event’s leftover clothes to a shelter.
