Response to U.S. Spring Storms through Three-Prong Approach

On March 11, one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history hit Japan. The massive tsunami that followed resulted in countless deaths and widespread destruction, and the nuclear incident compounded an already devastating situation. Within a short time, Tupperware Brands learned that all our distributors, managers, and NaturCare sales directors in Japan were safe. However, many sales force members currently remain among the significant number of people unaccounted for in the region. The entire Tupperware Family was called upon to demonstrate its support and generosity, just as we did when called upon to respond to disasters in China and Haiti.

At 9:00 a.m. on February 3, an empty field sat adjoining the Tupperware Brands Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida. Less than six hours later, that field was transformed into a safe, colorful, and fun playground that will be enjoyed by hundreds of community children and families.

‘We may only be one person in the world. But we may be the world to one person.’
The idea of giving back to local and global communities is woven into the fabric of Tupperware Brands. Year round, Tupperware Brands associates and sales force members participate in effective community partnerships, lead service initiatives, and strengthen non-profit organizations. Still, it’s important to highlight and celebrate this commitment to service, which is why Global Volunteer Day was developed. Full Article   Global Volunteer Day Toolkit
