Comcast proudly sponsored Action Day, a volunteer event at Target Center organized by Greater Twin Cities United Way (GTCUW). More than 40 Comcast employees volunteered to assemble over 800 backpacks, which will be distributed to more than 300 organizations across the Twin Cities metro area for the upcoming school year.
“We have always had an incredibly strong spirit of volunteerism at Comcast, which is why it’s not surprising Comcast employees jumped into action for the Greater Twin Cities United Way Action Day 2024,” said Kalyn Hove, regional senior vice president, Comcast Midwest and GTCUW Board member. “Comcast is proud to be a part of this event to help address educational disparities and ensure that students are set for a successful school year.”
