On Wednesday, November 30, Outdoor Cap and JUNK team members were able to participate in a $1000 shopping spree
for new toys for the Salvation Army Magical Toy Drive in partnership with KNWA. Our lobbies in the 1201 building
and the JUNK building hosted public drop-off spots for donations of new unwrapped toys. Outdoor Cap and JUNK
joined the main sponsors this year and are grateful for the opportunity to help locally.
The Salvation Army Magical Toy Drive makes the holiday season a little
brighter by gifting presents to underprivileged children. The Outdoor Cap team members were paired up, each given
a cart, and the spree was split between them. Dustin Boyd's group tried to average $10-12 a toy to optimize the
number of children that could receive a gift this Christmas.
Dustin said, "It's great to work somewhere
with the capacity to give back to the community with resources. We don't just sell hats. We help improve the value
of the community around us. The toy drive is an important reminder that there are a lot of people that still need
help."
Another participant, Amber Johnson, mentioned how warm it felt to give back to the community and make a
difference in someone's life, "Outdoor Cap is a wonderful company that generously gives to many organizations and
communities. I feel blessed to be involved in the Salvation Army Magical Toy Drive and look forward to the next
opportunity."
The Corporate Citizenship Committee has been
moving forward in its
efforts and has had an encouraging impact on the employees and the community. The plan is to improve and engage in
new ways as the committee grows and continues community outreach.
If you are a member of the NWA
community or a local charity or non-profit organization, we'd love to hear about any new opportunities. Please
