2,000 B2SI KITS ASSEMBLED

On Friday, June 7, dozens of Chicago-based Deloitte employees volunteered to participate in one of our biggest Build-A-Kit events of the year: assembling 2,000 of our signature kits. This was a part of Deloitte’s Global #ImpactThatMatters day, where employees around the world dedicate a day of service to helping nonprofits in countries everywhere.

The Build-A-Kit was held at the Irving Park YMCA. It was an immense task to unload 11 pallets with over 60,000 school supplies, which then needed to be unpacked, sorted, and placed into kit boxes before being put into cartons.

Half of the kits were divided up among area YMCAs: Irving Park, McCormick and Latoff. The other 1,000 kits were picked up by the National Guard, which will be distributed to military families at bases this summer through our partnership with Operation Homefront.

Deloitte employees worked together to accomplish assembling an impressive 2,000 kits. As a result of their hard work, 2,000 more needy children will be heading to school this fall with the tools they need for a successful school year.
