Kids Help Kids at "Bring Your Child to Work Day"

Employees of Assurant Employee Benefits and their children celebrated “Bring Your Child to Work Day” by stuffing more than 1,000 backpacks with school supplies for City Union Mission. The backpacks and materials were donated by the employees themselves, and Assurant provided large pallet boxes to transport the final products to the Mission. The children also held a bake sale, and the proceeds were matched by the company, netting an additional $200 for the Mission. Volunteers from the company will be on hand for the distribution of the backpacks to needy youngsters during the Mission’s Stuff the Bus event in August.
“Our employees have big hearts,” says Jonna Kaiser, who organized the project for Assurant. “And we want to instill in our kids how blessed they are that, for example, they get to pick out their own backpacks and school supplies.” City Union Mission is grateful for the company’s generosity and the inspiring example they set for other businesses in the community that want to get involved.
