Objective

To boost employee engagement and volunteerism

Background

As part of Instacart's mission to increase food access, every year my team planned a company-wide Day of Action to give employees a chance to step away from their computers and into their communities.

My role

I was responsible for planning virtual and in-person volunteer events for employees across the US and Canada. This included coordinating logistics with nonprofits, recruiting volunteers, and training a group of ambassadors to execute regional events with precision.

Results

I planned 15 volunteer events across 8 different cities for 500+ employees, resulting in 1,000+ volunteer hours and 70,000+ pounds of food sorted and distributed to 20,000+ families.
