Unilever's Second Annual Day of Service Gets Sweeter at Vaccine Locations Across the Country

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. , May 10 /Businesswire/ - On Friday, May 14, Unilever U.S. will be sharing joy at select vaccination sites throughout the country by delivering favorite summer treats like Klondike and Popsicle to newly vaccinated people, vaccine site workers, and volunteers. Those receiving vaccinations or working at select vaccination sites in New York, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Memphis, Dallas-Fort Worth and Phoenix on May 14 will get a sweet treat on the way out of vaccine site locations.

“There is still work to be done for pandemic recovery and addressing vaccine hesitancy is one piece of that. Getting vaccinated is a personal milestone for many that calls for a sweet celebration and we couldn’t think of a better way to do that than with ice cream,” said Russel Lilly, Vice President, U.S. Ice Cream at Unilever.

This is just one part of Unilever’s second annual Day of Service, a national volunteering effort which was launched last year to give back to communities most impacted by COVID-19. As a continuation of its efforts in 2020 to provide relief and support to communities, Unilever U.S. will also be donating over $25 million in goods and services towards pandemic relief bringing the total donation to over $50 million by the end of 2021.

For millions of people in the United States, the impact of the pandemic drags on inequitably. Communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, including women, families, and Black and Hispanic communities, are still facing critical issues like food insecurity, the education gap, lack of access to small business funding, and more.

“Our annual Day of Service is an opportunity for Unilever U.S. to use its size and scale as a catalyst to do good. And while the country is in a much different place than it was one year ago, we cannot lose sight that people are still feeling the impacts of this pandemic,” said Fabian Garcia, President of Unilever North America.

That is why in 2021, Unilever will continue to partner with organizations that tackle these issues by:

And on May 14, Unilever and its employees will join forces with more than 170 corporate partners to volunteer with national partners and local organizations. Unilever’s U.S. factories will also donate product off their lines to local organizations within their communities.

Everyone is invited to get involved in Unilever’s Day of Service to support those impacted by COVID-19 – you even have the chance to get some free† ice cream, too. Go to EverydayUDoesGood.com where you can find multiple options to participate. Then follow @UnileverUSA and share a photo of your act of service with the hashtags #DoGoodWithUnilever and #giveaway on Twitter on May 14, 2021 and you will be eligible for a chance to win† free treats from goPuff.

Acts of service can be as simple sharing educational materials from getvaccineanswers.org, sending a free card to the frontline workers at Feeding America or your club leaders at Boys & Girls Clubs of America or supporting women-founded businesses through Luminary.

Since the pandemic began, Unilever U.S. has:

  • Provided over 36 million meals to Americans in need
  • Supported more than 20,000 students with technology and virtual learning needs
  • Supported 490 women small businesses owners with coaching, support, and funding
  • And distributed over 177 million essential products to Americans in need

Globally, Unilever has contributed €100m to help the fight against the pandemic through donations of soap, sanitiser, bleach and food.
