UniSource volunteers came together to make sure local youth started the year with what they need to thrive. We paid special attention to youth organizations to wrap up 2025 so our local children and teens are well equipped for fresh beginnings in 2026.
Here are four examples:
Letters for Impact
Every employee from UniSource’s Cottonwood office stepped up to assist Low Income Student Aid (L.I.S.A.) by preparing mailers for its tax credit drive.
In just two and a half hours, office staff stuffed, sealed, and organized more than 3,000 letters and envelopes to help raise money for the organization.
“The group that joined us was nothing short of amazing,” said Eric Wyles, Executive Director of L.I.S.A. “There was laughter, camaraderie, and a genuine spirit of goodwill as everyone worked together. Thank you for your continued commitment to strengthening the communities you serve.”
Baskets of Creativity
Food basket gifts were creatively crafted for M.I.K.I.D., a family-centered behavioral health organization, thanks to a UniSource contest.
UniSource Metering Supervisor Codi Lucero worked with her Kingman team to hold a food basket competition to support the organization. M.I.K.I.D. chose the Engineering Department as this year’s winner.
“We had full participation across the team, and together we made a meaningful impact in our community,” Lucero said.
Packed with Purpose
When the Kingman Boys & Girls Club received a large donation of necessities for kids, UniSource volunteers stepped up to help pack them.
Together with the club, UniSource volunteers packed 545 boxes of clothing and sports gear, which will be distributed throughout the community to benefit local youth. The volunteer activity extends our company’s continuing support of the Boys & Girls Club.
Championing Special Olympics
UniSource sponsored and helped organize Breakfast with Champions, held in November to benefit the Special Olympics.
Executive Assistant Sam Caspe has been helping plan the Breakfast with Champions for years.
“My favorite part of these events is hearing directly from the athletes about why they love being part of the Special Olympics because you can truly feel their joy,” she said. “I bring my kids to these events to show them that people of all abilities can accomplish amazing things and that they enjoy many of the same activities they do.”
