Elevate Employee Engagement with Purpose: Host a Kits for Kids Event

Looking for a team-building experience that goes beyond the usual happy hour or group outing?

Kits for Kids is a hands-on, high-impact opportunity that makes team-building fun and effortless. Designed with flexibility in mind, this program is perfect for HR professionals and corporate event planners looking to boost morale, encourage collaboration, and give back to local students in Central Florida.

At its core, Kits for Kids is more than just a service project—it’s a meaningful alternative to the typical team-building activities. While corporate retreats and recreational events have their place, Kits for Kids offers something more: a way to celebrate company culture and achievements through the act of giving back.

Whether you’re a small business or a large company, Kits for Kids is easy to host, highly customizable, and leaves a lasting impression – not just on your employees, but on the community – all in one event.

A Real Example: Orlando Health’s 407 Day Celebration

When Orlando Health wanted to celebrate 407 Day, a day that celebrates everything Orlando, they chose to give back in a big way.

Recognizing the value of strengthening internal culture while also making an external impact, Orlando Health chose to mark this uniquely Orlando celebration by turning it into an opportunity for purpose-driven engagement. They commissioned three Kits for Kids builds across several campuses, inviting team members to pause from their day-to-day roles to connect with one another at a different level by helping others.

Over the course of one meaningful day, their employees assembled 1,150 school supply kits for students. These included pencil pouches, Essential kits, and STEM kits.

“Orlando Health is proud to celebrate 407 Day by giving back to our community and supporting A Gift for Teaching. By building school supply kits, we’re helping to ensure students in Central Florida have the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed.” — Justin Williams, President of Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children

This unique celebration created connection, pride, and real impact—all while fostering corporate camaraderie.

The events weren’t just about assembling kits, they were about building community, both among colleagues and in support of the students and teachers who receive free educational resources from A Gift for Teaching throughout the school year.
