Anne Vela-Wagner, Executive Director of the Mars Wrigley Foundation at Mars, talked about their partnership with M3 and how virtual volunteering kept them engaged during the pandemic.
She said, “Through the talent and caring of our incredible Associates we have conducted wellness calls for seniors, held virtual career exploration sessions with teens, and through our skills-based Mars Ambassador Program, we will have an Associate working full-time, over the course of a month, with M3’s team to strengthen their stakeholder engagement strategy. We’re also planning a ‘pack the van’ event in the fall to fill the first-ever M3 van with supplies in high-demand for those they serve.”
