OneAmerica Hosts Second Week of Caring for United Way

OneAmerica will once again up the ante on community kindness at its second-annual Week of Caring, as 675 employees—nearly half of the local workforce—volunteer at six organizations in support of the United Way of Central Indiana. In total, more than 2,700 volunteer hours are set to benefit thousands in the Indianapolis community. Last year marked the first time an organization in Central Indiana devoted an entire week to volunteer activities.

“We all have a stake in our community,” said Scott Davison, president and CEO for the companies of OneAmerica. “When people are educated, families are fed, kids are cared for and the homeless have help, it makes our city a better, more beautiful place to live. I hope our Week of Caring inspires our associates and others in the community to give their time and treasure to causes that ignite their passions.”

OneAmerica volunteers will help the agencies listed below by doing landscaping, packaging food, making toiletry kits and helping residents make handmade crafts. Similar events are occurring at the West Coast corporate office in San Diego and at OneAmerica field offices across the nation.

OneAmerica President and CEO Scott Davison will be sorting and packaging food from 9 a.m. to Noon on Monday, August 24 at Gleaners. He and Gleaners President and CEO Cindy Hubert will be available for interviews during this time.
