United Way's Annual Week of Caring was held August 31st-September 4th in Piedmont, Cherokee and Spartanburg South Carolina.  Hundreds of corporate and individual volunteers partnered with local agencies to complete projects across the community.

During that time, over 600 volunteers teamed up to provide assistance to multiple non-profit agencies in each county to encourage people to adopt a volunteer project. 

Give your lunch hour. Give a day. Give a week. Get involved! 

As part of  a "Week of Caring" Spartanburg Regional Healthcare stystem in East Sparttanburg , SC. wanted to encourage people to care for earth, too!  They distributed  Planetpals Earthday Everyday Recycle Kits to more than 5000 employees, to help them get the message to take action, care for earth and spread it to their families.   

According to Delaine Griswold the idea was to encourage the employees to learn to recycle.  "We distributed these kits which have wonderful design, color, and messages to all our employees." 

Planetpals is a great way to get the message out and has been used as part of Earthday celebrations, classroom content, green learning.  Planetpals Characters and Planetpals website contain messages that reach all ages and offer pro active solutions as well as green ideas.
